FAQs
Can I use these for running outdoors?
No, these are specifically engineered for indoor court sports. The sole is not designed to withstand the abrasive nature of outdoor running surfaces.
How do I know if the fit is right?
You should feel a snug fit around the midfoot with enough room in the toe box for your toes to move slightly without pressing against the end of the shoe.
Are these shoes machine washable?
We do not recommend machine washing. It can damage the integrity of the adhesive and the responsive properties of the Gel cushioning.
What sports are these best suited for?
They are ideal for handball, indoor volleyball, squash, and badminton where lateral stability and quick shifts are required.
How long should the cushioning last?
While it varies based on intensity and frequency of play, high-performance court shoes typically maintain their cushioning integrity for 300-500 miles of play.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
The outsole may have accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the rubber sole with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to restore grip.
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are tied with proper tension. If discomfort persists, consider replacing the stock insole with a sport-specific orthotic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Task 4 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent impact discomfort during play.
- Surface Usage: Only use these shoes on indoor courts. Using them on outdoor asphalt will quickly erode the specialized rubber outsole.
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove court dust, which can impair grip. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the glue and cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Ensure the laces are loosened when taking the shoes off to maintain the structure of the upper.
