FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the GEL cushioning and comfortable design make them suitable for marathon distances, especially for runners who prioritize shock absorption.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they offer good cushioning, they are optimized for running. For gym workouts that involve lateral movements or heavy lifting, specialized training shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct shoe size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It's also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What is the main difference between Gel-Pulse and other ASICS series?
The Gel-Pulse series generally focuses on providing a balanced blend of cushioning and responsiveness for everyday running, often at a more accessible price point compared to some of ASICS' premium performance models.
How often should I replace my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, it is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a reduction in cushioning.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly wet conditions, not heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning effect
Over time, cushioning can decrease. Ensure you are not exceeding the recommended mileage for trainers (typically 300-500 miles) before considering a replacement.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may vary. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that could impede grip.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider wearing appropriate running socks and breaking in the shoes gradually if they are new.
