ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 - Black - 3 UK

These sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and other similar activities that require quick lateral movements and jumping.

While you can technically wear them, they are not designed for running or outdoor use. The outsole is optimized for indoor court surfaces and will wear out quickly on abrasive outdoor terrain. For optimal performance and durability, keep them on indoor courts.

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a soft brush to clean the outsole. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based gel units in the shoe's midsole. These units are designed to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent cushioning and protecting your feet and joints from high-impact forces.

ASICS generally runs true to size for most users. However, foot shape varies. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. This specific variant is a UK size 3.

The lifespan depends on usage frequency, intensity of play, and care. With proper care and exclusive indoor use, they can typically last a season or two of regular play before the cushioning or outsole traction begins to diminish.

Info needed: Please consult ASICS' official product page or sizing charts for the Gel-Rocket 12 to see if specific width options are available for this model. Most standard models come in a single width unless otherwise specified.

Ensure your shoes are properly broken in. Check your lacing technique for a secure yet comfortable fit. Also, try wearing performance athletic socks designed to reduce friction and wick moisture. Verify you have the correct size and width.

Regularly clean the outsole of your shoes to remove dust, dirt, and residue that can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the problem persists, the outsole might be worn and require shoe replacement.

New shoes often require a break-in period of a few sessions. If they remain stiff, ensure you're not over-tightening your laces. Consider varying your lacing pattern to relieve pressure points.

Ensure you are only using them for indoor court sports as intended. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces will cause rapid wear. Regular cleaning and proper storage also contribute to shoe longevity. Consider rotating between two pairs of shoes if you play very frequently.
