FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The ergonomic design provides neutral support, but individuals with severe overpronation may require additional orthopedic inserts.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces and does not have the deep-lug outsole required for trail grip.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to leave a little extra room for foot swelling during long runs.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your trainers in a dryer. High heat will ruin the structural integrity of the GEL cushioning and the adhesive.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
Please check the specific model and stock availability, as Asics often provides standard widths for this series.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or instability
Check your lacing technique; try a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the ankle more firmly.
Excessive odor or moisture
Remove the insoles after each run to air them out and store the shoes in a well-ventilated space.
Premature sole wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily on intended surfaces; excessive use on gravel or abrasive terrain will accelerate rubber degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and moisture management. Always ensure you are wearing the correct size, specifically looking for a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can degrade the GEL technology and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heaters. If the insoles become wet, remove them to dry separately to prevent odors and material breakdown.
