FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running outside?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. The outsole and cushioning are optimized for grip and impact absorption on courts, not for rough outdoor terrain.
How do I clean the white mesh parts?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is designed to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing stress on your joints during landings and high-impact movements.
Can I wear these for general fitness training?
While they offer good support and cushioning, they are best suited for sports involving lateral movement on indoor courts. For general gym training, specialized cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
How long does the grip on the outsole typically last?
The lifespan of the grip depends on the frequency of use, the type of court surface, and how the shoes are maintained. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong the grip's effectiveness.
What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be comfortably snug.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can reduce grip. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and require replacement.
Discomfort during play
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks.
Shoes smelling after use
Remove insoles after play and allow both the shoes and insoles to air dry completely. Use an anti-odor spray or insert suitable for athletic footwear.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
The GEL cushioning may compress over time with extensive use. If significant reduction in shock absorption is noticed, consider replacing the shoes.
