FAQs
Can I use these shoes for outdoor running?
No, the Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically engineered for indoor court surfaces. Using them on asphalt or concrete will significantly reduce the lifespan of the outsole.
How do I determine if these are the right size for me?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. We recommend ensuring about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the shoe, particularly the GEL cushioning and the adhesive elements.
What sports are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for indoor court sports, including volleyball, handball, squash, badminton, and floorball.
Does the Blue/Grey colorway indicate different features?
No, the colorway is purely aesthetic and does not affect the performance technology or features of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Excessive slipping on the court
Wipe the soles of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and floor debris that can affect grip.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Ensure your laces are not overtightened; check that you are using the correct size for your foot arch and width.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against the standard Asics athletic fit, which may vary slightly from dress shoe sizing. These trainers are designed for indoor use; wearing them on concrete or gravel will prematurely wear down the specialized rubber outsole. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the surface with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the GEL cushioning units and the adhesive bonding of the materials.
