FAQs
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed with a non-marking rubber outsole optimized for grip and durability on indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors can cause premature wear and reduce performance.
What sports are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for a variety of indoor court sports, including volleyball, badminton, squash, pickleball, and table tennis, where agile movements and reliable grip are essential.
Is the sizing gender-specific?
The product is listed for 'Female' gender, and the size 'UK 12' is provided. For specific fit guidance, it's recommended to consult ASICS' official sizing charts or try them on, as athletic shoe sizing can vary. However, many indoor court shoes are often worn by various genders depending on size availability and fit preference.
Do these shoes provide good ankle support?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 offers good general support for agile movements on court. For players requiring additional ankle stability due to personal history or sport demands, separate ankle braces or higher-cut shoes might be considered in addition to these.
What does 'non-marking outsole' mean?
A non-marking outsole is made from a special rubber compound that provides excellent traction on indoor court surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks on the floor. This is a common requirement in many gyms and sports facilities.
How long should a pair of ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 last?
The lifespan of court shoes depends on frequency of use, intensity of play, and player movement patterns. With regular care and use on appropriate surfaces, they are designed for durability. Inspect the outsole tread and cushioning for signs of significant wear to determine when replacement is needed, typically every 6-12 months for active players.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during play
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting your lacing technique; a looser lace-up on the lower eyelets can alleviate pressure. Allow for a break-in period, as shoes often conform to your foot over time.
Laces frequently come undone
Try a 'double knot' or a 'surgeon's knot' for increased security. Ensure laces are not worn out or stretched, as this can prevent them from holding a knot effectively.
Reduced grip on indoor courts
Clean the outsoles regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate and reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. Check for excessive wear on the outsole tread; worn outsoles may indicate it's time for new shoes.
Foot or joint discomfort after playing
While the shoes offer cushioning, ensure you have appropriate socks for sports. If discomfort persists, consult with a footwear specialist or physiotherapist. The shoe size or type might not be optimal for your foot shape or playing style. Consider if your insoles need replacing or if custom orthotics are required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot flexion and support. Use a lacing technique that provides even pressure across the top of your foot.
- First Use: While designed for comfort, a short break-in period during light activity can help the shoes conform to your feet.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces (e.g., wooden gym floors, synthetic courts). Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces can prematurely wear down the outsole and reduce their effectiveness.
- Sports: Ideal for indoor sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, pickleball, and table tennis.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for wear and tear, especially on the outsole and cushioning, to ensure optimal performance and safety.
