FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor tennis?
No, these are specialized indoor court shoes. Using them on outdoor asphalt or concrete will significantly shorten their lifespan and reduce the effectiveness of the grip.
Do I need to break in the Gel-Rocket 12?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, but a few sessions of light activity will help the upper material mold to your foot shape.
Can I use these for running?
These are designed for lateral movement in court sports. They lack the heel-to-toe cushioning transition required for long-distance running and are not recommended for that purpose.
How do I determine my size?
The sizes follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for movement.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if you have specific biomechanical requirements.
Are they water-resistant?
No, they are made with breathable mesh to maximize airflow, which means they are not water-resistant.
Troubleshooting
Slippery performance on court
Wipe the outsoles with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and restore grip.
Feeling of insufficient arch support
The shoe features a neutral design; if you require higher arch support, consider replacing the stock insole with a high-quality aftermarket orthotic.
Unpleasant odor after training
Remove the insoles after use to speed up drying and use a deodorizing spray or charcoal bags to manage moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, remove them after use and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the cushioning materials. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. When cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains; do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage the technical structure of the outsole and GEL inserts.
