Troubleshooting
Outer sole picking up too much debris
Use a stiff brush after every off-road use to clear the lug pattern, ensuring the grip remains effective.
Upper material appearing dull or dusty
Wipe the surface with a lightly dampened cloth and mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Venture 6 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the initial setup, ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your mid-foot width to avoid pressure points during your first walk or run. Regarding care, remove dried mud or debris after outdoor excursions using a soft-bristled brush to prevent buildup in the outsole pattern. If the trainers get wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with paper towels, allowing them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
