FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers are designed with a standard fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them more comfortable in a wider width option if available.
How much added cushioning is there compared to previous models?
The GEL-PULSE 17 features an additional 2mm of foam in the midsole, enhancing the underfoot cushioning compared to previous versions.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While these trainers offer excellent cushioning for comfort, they are designed for general running and multisport use. For marathon distances, you might consider models specifically engineered for long-distance performance and higher levels of support.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL cushioning technology is specifically designed to provide optimal shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during activity and contributing to a smoother running experience.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and there should be no pinching or discomfort across the width of the foot.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Athletic-specific socks made from moisture-wicking materials like polyester, nylon, or merino wool blends are recommended to keep feet dry and comfortable.
Is the outsole suitable for trail running?
The high-resistance rubber outsole provides superior traction on general surfaces. For specific trail running with uneven terrain and mud, a shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-lace them, ensuring the tongue is centered and not bunched. If the shoe is still too tight, consider a different size or width.
Lack of cushioning feel
Ensure the laces are properly tied to achieve the intended fit. The cushioning may also take a few wears to fully break in and conform to your foot.
Slipping during activity
Check if the outsole is wet or dirty, as this can reduce traction. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure the laces are tied securely.
Fraying or wear on the mesh upper
Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. If minor fraying occurs, a small amount of fabric glue can be used to secure loose threads. Regular cleaning and proper drying also help prolong material life.
