FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 are specifically designed for indoor court sports. Their outsole grip and cushioning are optimized for indoor surfaces and may wear out quickly or perform poorly on rough outdoor terrain.
How do I clean the shoes?
Clean with a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water for stains. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the main benefit of GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during activities like jumping and landing, which helps to enhance comfort and reduce fatigue.
Can I wear these for general gym workouts?
Yes, their lightweight design and good grip make them suitable for many general gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements and quick changes in direction.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The Gel-Rocket 12 are low-cut trainers. They offer good support for agile movements but may not provide the same level of ankle stability as high-top specialized shoes for sports requiring significant ankle bracing.
What sports are these trainers best suited for?
They are ideal for indoor sports such as badminton, squash, volleyball, table tennis, and handball, where quick movements and reliable traction are crucial.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner athletic socks. Some users find wearing them for short periods helps break them in.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. The shoes are designed for indoor courts; performance may vary on other surfaces.
Discomfort after use
Verify the correct size and width. Allow a break-in period. Ensure your socks are appropriate for athletic activity.
Material appears worn quickly
Follow the care instructions to maintain material integrity. Avoid abrasive surfaces and excessive use on non-court environments.

Care:
