Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL-PULSE 17?
The primary benefit is enhanced underfoot cushioning provided by FF BLAST and GEL technologies, offering a comfortable and smooth running and training experience.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The description does not specify wide sizing. Standard fit is implied. If you have wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or check for availability in wider width options if offered by the retailer.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid soaking the shoe.
What does 'AHARPLUS rubber' mean?
AHARPLUS is ASICS' proprietary high-abrasion resistant rubber compound used in the outsole, particularly in the heel area, to enhance durability and resistance to wear.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for shorter to mid-distance runs, for marathon distances, shoes with more advanced long-distance cushioning and support systems might be preferable. However, they can be suitable for marathon training runs.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is described as flat, falling within the 1 to 3 cm range.
What is the environmental benefit of the insole?
The insole uses a solution dyeing process which reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly; for a looser fit, slacken them. Ensure the laces are tied securely.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase the time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While the GEL and FF BLAST technologies are durable, cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of running, or when you notice a significant loss of comfort and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The AHARPLUS outsole provides good traction but may not offer optimal grip on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The ASICS GEL-PULSE 17 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the laces.
Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes by hand using a mild detergent and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp the shape or degrade the materials.
