FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor sports?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed with a non-marking outsole for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors will accelerate wear on the outsole and may not provide optimal grip.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the ASICS size chart. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when your feet are typically at their largest, and wear the type of athletic socks you usually play in.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Always hand wash and air dry as per the care instructions.
What type of sport are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for indoor court sports that require quick lateral movements, jumps, and stops, such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and pickleball.
How long do these shoes typically last?
The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as care. With regular use in indoor courts and proper maintenance, they are designed to be durable, but active players might consider replacement every 6-12 months for optimal performance.
Do they offer good ankle support?
The Gel-Rocket 12 offers standard low-cut ankle support suitable for agility in court sports. For players requiring additional ankle stability, taping or ankle braces might be considered in conjunction with the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Re-lace the shoes, adjusting tension evenly across the foot. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct size for your foot length and width.
Slipping on court surfaces
Check the outsole for dirt or debris and clean thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the outsole tread is significantly worn, it might be time to replace the shoes as grip diminishes over time.
Foot discomfort or pain during play
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. If discomfort persists, consider adding aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning, or consult a footwear specialist or podiatrist.
