FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are designed for indoor court sports. Their outsole and cushioning are optimized for lateral movements and shock absorption on court surfaces, not for the repetitive impact of running.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. Try the shoes on with the type of socks you would typically wear for your sport. Ensure there is a little room at the toe and the heel feels secure.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides enhanced shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during activities that involve jumping and landing.
Are these trainers unisex?
While the specific variant described is for women, ASICS often offers similar models in unisex designs. This particular model is listed as female.
How long do these trainers typically last?
The lifespan of the trainers depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as court conditions. For regular indoor court play, they typically offer good durability for a season or more of consistent training.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the court surface is unusually slick, consider an alternative playing environment.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Verify that you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of sports socks. Break them in gradually with shorter sessions.
Reduced shock absorption feel
While GEL technology provides lasting cushioning, its effectiveness can diminish over extended periods of heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if they are significantly worn.
Shoes feel stiff
This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
