FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are designed for indoor court sports and multisport activities. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not optimized for the specific demands of running and may lack the necessary features for long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without being too tight.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Clean them using a damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
What is the primary benefit of TRUSSTIC technology?
TRUSSTIC technology provides enhanced stability in the midfoot area, helping to prevent excessive twisting and supporting quick transitions between movements during court sports.
Are these shoes good for outdoor courts?
These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. The rubber outsole provides optimal grip on clean indoor courts. Use on rough outdoor surfaces can lead to premature wear and reduced traction.
What is the purpose of the GEL Technology in these shoes?
The GEL Technology, typically placed in the heel, is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing cushioning and reducing stress on your joints during play.
What type of sports are these trainers best suited for?
They are ideal for indoor multisport activities such as badminton, volleyball, squash, table tennis, and other court-based games that require agility, stability, and good grip.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size or width. Wearing them for short periods can help break them in.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. The outsole is designed for indoor courts; performance may vary on other surfaces.
Lack of cushioning
The GEL Technology provides moderate cushioning. If more is required, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for sports. Note that these shoes prioritize stability.
Material feels stiff
New shoes can feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape and movement.
