FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

No, the Gel Rocket 12 is strictly designed for indoor court sports and lacks the heel-to-toe transition and cushioning required for long-distance road running.

Can I use these on concrete or asphalt?

It is not recommended. The outsole rubber and construction are optimized for indoor gym surfaces and will wear down rapidly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

You should have about half an inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural swelling during exercise.

Do these provide good ankle support?

The design includes reinforced materials for stability, but they are low-cut trainers. If you have a history of ankle injuries, consider using additional athletic taping or braces.

Can I remove the insole to use my own orthotics?

Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slippery on the court

Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and floor wax buildup.

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft brush to gently remove surface debris, followed by a light wipe with a damp cloth.

Midsole feels less cushioned over time

Check the condition of the GEL pods; if the foam has lost compression, it may be time to replace the footwear based on your usage intensity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection via forefoot and heel GEL
  • Excellent traction on hardwood surfaces
  • Lightweight construction for agility
  • High stability for lateral court movements

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor surfaces or asphalt
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated running shoes
  • Indoor-only design may restrict versatility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, ensure your shoes are laced securely to maintain ankle support. These trainers are exclusively compatible with indoor court surfaces. To extend the life of your Gel Rocket 12 trainers, wipe the soles with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust, which can cause slipping. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash; if the shoes become dirty, gently scrub the upper with a mild detergent and water, then allow them to air dry at room temperature away from heat sources.
