FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 offers excellent cushioning for long-distance runs like marathons. However, individual comfort and support needs may vary, so testing them on shorter long runs first is recommended.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
What is the main advantage of the GEL cushioning?
The main advantage of the GEL cushioning is its superior shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your joints and provides a softer landing during each stride.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the trainers are suitable for gym workouts that involve some running or general cardio. For activities requiring significant lateral stability, like weightlifting, specialized gym shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
With regular use and proper care, these trainers are typically expected to last between 300 to 500 miles. This can vary based on running surface, intensity, and individual gait.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 series is available in multiple colorways. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if a different lacing technique might help.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
The cushioning may naturally degrade with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles (or when visible signs of wear appear).
Slipping during runs.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the problem persists on wet surfaces, be cautious as even high-resistance rubber has limits on slick conditions.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
Ensure the laces are not too tight, allowing for better air circulation. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, so excessive heat may indicate other factors.

- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
