FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
No, the Gel-Rocket 12 is designed for indoor court sports, not for distance running or outdoor trail use.
Can I use these on concrete or outdoor courts?
We do not recommend this as the outsole is optimized for indoor surfaces and will wear down prematurely on abrasive surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that matches your standard athletic footwear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners can be removed to facilitate cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
How often should I replace these trainers?
This depends on frequency of use, but generally, once the cushioning feels compressed or the outsole grip noticeably diminishes, it is time for a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Clean the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can cause sliding.
Uncomfortable fit or tightness
Ensure the laces are loosened during initial wear and check that your socks provide the appropriate amount of cushion for your specific foot shape.
Odors after intense play
Remove the insoles after training and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, it is essential to keep them exclusively for indoor use. Wearing them on asphalt or concrete will rapidly degrade the specialized rubber outsole. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials and impact the cushioning integrity.
