This style comes with our registered design Gel Forefoot Cushions - provided for a cushioned, customisable fit.

Before applying the gel cushions, test the position within the shoe to confirm your preferred fit. Should you plan to continue to use the gel cushion, remove the back film and apply.

Once the gel cushions have been stuck down they do not peel off easily, this is to ensure they stay in place. If they have been stuck into the shoes please note it may impact our Returns Policy.

Gel cushions are only to be used with the styles they come with. It is not recommended to use the gel cushions with any other shoe styles.
