FAQs
What sports are these trainers best suited for?
The ASICS GelRocket 12 trainers are primarily designed for indoor court sports, including handball, volleyball, squash, and badminton. Their anti-slip sole and cushioning are optimized for these environments.
How should I clean my ASICS GelRocket 12 trainers?
For cleaning, gently wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of ASICS GEL™ technology?
ASICS GEL™ technology provides advanced shock absorption and energetic cushioning. This helps to reduce the impact on your joints during high-intensity movements like jumping, landing, and quick changes in direction, enhancing comfort and protection.
Are these trainers true to size for UK sizing?
While generally consistent, it is highly recommended to try them on. Be aware that shoe labels or boxes may display US/Euro sizes, so always confirm the specific UK size to ensure the best fit.
Can I use these trainers for outdoor sports or general wear?
These trainers are specifically engineered for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors can lead to accelerated wear of the specialized sole and may compromise their performance and durability.
What materials are used in the ASICS GelRocket 12?
The trainers feature a synthetic upper for lightweight support and breathability, and a durable rubber sole designed for optimal grip on indoor court surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing during play
Ensure your laces are tied securely but not excessively tight, which can create pressure points. Verify you have the correct UK size, as an improper fit is a common cause of discomfort. Consider wearing appropriate sports socks for added cushioning and moisture-wicking.
Reduced grip on the indoor court
Inspect the rubber sole for any embedded debris, dust, or dirt. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated grime that might be affecting traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Shoes feel heavy or restrictive
The GelRocket 12 is designed to be lightweight. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure it's supportive without being overly restrictive. An incorrect shoe size can also make footwear feel cumbersome; re-check your sizing.
Unpleasant odor developing in trainers
Always allow your trainers to air dry completely after each use, removing insoles if possible to aid ventilation. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing cedar shoe trees inside when not in use to absorb moisture and odor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no complex setup. Simply lace them up to achieve a snug, secure fit before your activity. Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not so tightly that they restrict blood flow or cause discomfort.
Compatibility: The ASICS GelRocket 12 trainers are specifically designed and optimized for indoor court surfaces. They are ideal for sports such as handball, volleyball, squash, badminton, and other similar indoor activities. Using these trainers outdoors is not recommended, as abrasive outdoor surfaces can prematurely wear down the specialized rubber sole, diminishing performance and durability.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean the synthetic upper, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in damp environments, which can encourage odor and material degradation.
Important Sizing Note: Please make sure to try on your footwear before returning, as the shoe box or label may state a US/Euro size which is different to the UK size. Always confirm the UK size for the best fit.
