ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers - Blue/Grey - UK 7

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are primarily designed for road running and general daily training due to their cushioning and traction features.

Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space between the end and the shoe. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without any pressure points or rubbing.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Hand washing with cold water and mild detergent is the preferred method.

For optimal performance and injury prevention, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or increased foot fatigue.

The standard fit is designed for typical adult male feet. If you have significantly wide feet, you may need to explore wider width options if available or try a half size up, though fit can be very individual.

The GEL cushioning provides excellent shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your feet and joints during running, leading to greater comfort and reduced risk of injury.

Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. Consider the lacing technique; adjust laces to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. If the issue persists, trying a half-size up or down might be necessary.

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may decrease after extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running, or when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.

While the outsole offers superior traction, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For extremely wet conditions, exercise extra caution.
