FAQs
Are the Gel-Venture 11 shoes waterproof?
These shoes feature a breathable upper, which is not designed to be fully waterproof, though they handle damp terrain better than standard road running shoes.
Can I use these for road running?
While these are designed as hiking and trail shoes, they can be used for occasional road use, but the outsole lugs are optimized specifically for dirt and gravel trails.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to allow for a small gap in the toe box for when your feet swell during longer hikes.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology provides specialized cushioning that absorbs shock during the landing phase of your stride, reducing impact stress on your joints.
How should I clean the outsole?
Use a damp cloth and warm water to remove debris from the lugs; ensure the outsole is completely dry before storing.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust your lacing technique, such as using the 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Outer material accumulation of mud
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft brush; do not scrape while wet to avoid pushing dirt into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you wear the shoes with appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks to enhance breathability. To maintain the life of your Gel-Venture 11 shoes, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials. If they become muddy after a trail hike, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, then brush off dried dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Store in a cool, dry area to prevent material degradation.
