FAQs
Can I use these shoes for outdoor running?
No, these are designed specifically for indoor court sports. Using them on asphalt or concrete will cause the sole to wear out prematurely.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Gel-Rocket 12 has a standard athletic fit; if you have particularly wide feet, you may consider trying a half-size up.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft brush or cloth dipped in mild detergent, then wipe away any soap residue.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, it provides moderate arch support suitable for most neutral foot types, though you can replace the existing insole with custom orthotics if needed.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on frequency of use, most court shoes show signs of cushioning fatigue after 6-12 months of regular play.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Wipe the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and floor debris.
Excessive moisture or odor
Remove insoles after use and air the shoes in a well-ventilated area to allow perspiration to evaporate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoes are properly laced to match your foot's arch profile. The Gel-Rocket 12 fits true to size for most male adult users. For maintenance, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the upper down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust. Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials. Periodically check the outsole for debris to maintain consistent grip levels on court surfaces.
