FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 suitable for?
These shoes are ideal for a range of indoor court sports, including squash, badminton, volleyball, and table tennis, thanks to their excellent support and cushioning for agile movements.
Are these shoes specifically for women?
This particular variant (UK 7.5, Blue Fade Champagne) is listed as a 'Female' model. ASICS generally designs shoes with specific fit considerations for different genders, but the Gel-Rocket series can have unisex variants as well.
How do I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Remove insoles to aid drying and odor control.
Can I wear these shoes outside?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is designed exclusively for indoor court surfaces. Wearing them outdoors can quickly damage the non-marking outsole and reduce performance and durability.
What does ASICS GEL™ technology do?
ASICS GEL™ technology is a cushioning system that absorbs shock during impact, protecting your feet and joints from the forces generated during jumping, landing, and quick changes in direction.
Is the sizing accurate for the UK 7.5?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing, but shoe fit can vary by individual. It's recommended to consult the official ASICS sizing chart or try them on to ensure the perfect fit, as a proper fit is crucial for performance in court sports.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or I have blisters.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and type of athletic socks. Check your lacing for overly tight spots. A short break-in period is sometimes needed. If discomfort persists, consult an expert for fit assessment.
The shoes feel slippery on the court.
Clean the outsole regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the outsole appears worn smooth, it might be time for new shoes.
My shoes retain odor after playing.
Always air out your shoes immediately after use. Remove the insoles to help them dry completely. Use shoe deodorizing sprays or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and fight odors. Avoid storing them in a gym bag.
The shoe upper material is showing signs of wear quickly.
This could be due to excessive dragging or scuffing during play. Ensure your footwork technique is optimal for your sport. Regular cleaning and proper storage can also help maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a snug, secure fit. Start from the lowest eyelets and work your way up, pulling laces firmly but not too tightly to avoid pressure points. A 'runner's knot' or 'heel-lock' lacing technique can help prevent heel slippage if needed.
- Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, allow a short break-in period (1-2 sessions) to let the shoes mold to your feet for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: The Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court surfaces such as wooden courts, synthetic courts, and rubberized gym floors. Avoid using them outdoors as this can wear down the outsole quickly and compromise grip.
- Sports: Best suited for racket sports (squash, badminton, table tennis) and other indoor court sports like volleyball.
- Sizing: This variant is a UK 7.5 (Female). Refer to ASICS' official sizing guide if unsure about your exact size, as a proper fit is essential for performance and injury prevention.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Remove insoles to help them dry thoroughly.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or stuff with newspaper after play to absorb moisture and reduce odors. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.
