FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Gel-Pulse 17 is a capable daily trainer that offers enough comfort for high-mileage training, but your specific needs depend on your personal gait and distance requirements.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, they provide good support for treadmill running and general gym activities, though they are specifically optimized for forward-motion road running.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual wear patterns.
Are these waterproof?
No, the breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and is not waterproof.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
It is recommended to try them on in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest, and ensure there is enough room for toe splay.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size; check that your socks are moisture-wicking and not creating pressure points.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the tread with a soft brush to remove pebbles and debris that may be obstructing surface contact.
Odors developing inside the shoe
Remove the insoles to air out after every run and use a shoe-specific deodorizing spray if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Pulse 17s, proper care is essential. When fitting your shoes, ensure there is roughly a thumbnail-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent discomfort during swelling. Compatibility is highest on paved, dry road surfaces. For care, do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the GEL cushioning and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Removing the insoles after a particularly wet run can help the interior dry faster and prevent odor buildup.
