FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
No, the ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12 trainers are designed specifically for indoor court sports and are not suitable for marathon running or general road running due to their specialized sole and support structure.
How do I clean the GEL-ROCKET 12 trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the interior, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush if needed. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology provides advanced shock absorption, cushioning your feet during high-impact movements and reducing stress on joints.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor sports?
These trainers are optimized for indoor courts. Using them outdoors on abrasive surfaces may reduce their grip and damage the outsole prematurely.
How is the sizing for ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12?
ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but individual fit can vary. It is highly recommended to check the size guide and, if possible, try the shoes on before purchasing to ensure the best fit.
What types of indoor sports are these shoes best for?
They are ideal for sports like badminton, volleyball, squash, table tennis, and other court-based activities that require quick movements, stability, and good grip.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The GEL-ROCKET 12 offers a stable construction designed for lateral support during court movements. For significant ankle support needs, players might consider specialized ankle braces or shoes with higher ankle collars.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with athletic socks. Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or a different size.
Slipping on the court
Check that the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Indoor court surfaces should be clean and dry. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the specific indoor surface you are using.
Excessive foot sweat during play
Wear moisture-wicking athletic socks. Ensure the shoes are properly aired out after each use. The breathable upper is designed to help, but extreme conditions may still lead to sweat.
GEL technology feels too firm
The GEL technology is designed to absorb shock over time and with use. Allow for a break-in period. The firmness contributes to stability during lateral movements.
