FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard fit of the GEL-CUMULUS 16 accommodates most foot shapes, but the synthetic overlays provide a firm structure that may feel snug on particularly wide feet.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the cycle can damage the GEL cushioning and the structural integrity of the upper.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and synthetic overlays for durability and support.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these trainers feature breathable mesh that is designed to let air flow through, meaning they are not waterproof or water-resistant.

How often should I replace these trainers?

Generally, it is recommended to evaluate the condition of the outsole tread and the compression of the midsole after 300 to 500 miles of use, or if the child outgrows the sizing.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure a double knot is tied and check that the laces are not slick with residue; replace with shorter laces if excess length is causing snagging.

Odors developing after heavy use

Remove the insoles to air out, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoe overnight, and ensure they are stored in a dry, ventilated area.

Accumulated dirt on mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a slightly damp cloth to prevent pushing debris deeper into the mesh fibers.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of these trainers, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that can degrade the adhesive.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the cushioning components.
  • Fit: Ensure that the laces are adjusted to provide a snug but non-restrictive fit across the midfoot to prevent internal slipping.
  • Insole Maintenance: If the removable insoles become damp, take them out to dry separately to prevent odor buildup.
