FAQs
What sports are these ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes best for?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and pickleball, offering optimal support and cushioning for these activities.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While you can wear them outdoors, their specialized sole pattern is optimized for indoor court surfaces. Outdoor use, especially on rough surfaces like asphalt or concrete, may accelerate wear on the sole and reduce grip effectiveness.
How do I choose the correct size for the Gel-Rocket 12?
It is recommended to measure your foot and consult ASICS' official sizing chart. Consider trying them on, preferably at the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger, and wear the type of athletic socks you'd normally use for sports.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
What does 'excellent support and cushioning' mean for my game?
Excellent support helps stabilize your foot during quick lateral movements and stops, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing agility. Enhanced cushioning absorbs impact from jumps and landings, providing comfort and reducing strain on your joints during intense play, allowing you to perform longer.
Are these shoes suitable for both male and female athletes?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 (Black, MPN: 1072A119-001) is specifically listed with 'gender': 'Female' in its attributes. For specific sizing and fit concerns, it's always best to consult the official ASICS sizing guide for the particular model.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, such as skipping an eyelet. Wear appropriate athletic socks for better fit and comfort. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is truly correct.
Losing grip on the court.
Clean the soles to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the shoes are very old, the sole pattern may be worn down, indicating it might be time for a new pair.
Odor buildup in shoes.
Remove insoles after each use to air them out and help the shoes dry completely. Use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure shoes dry thoroughly after each use, as moisture promotes bacterial growth.

Product Care
To maintain the longevity and performance of your Gel-Rocket 12 shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out and prevent odor buildup, or to wash them gently if needed.
- Rotation: If you play frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to extend their lifespan and allow each pair to fully dry between uses.
