FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 designed for?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports such as squash, badminton, and volleyball, offering specialized grip and support for these dynamic activities.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities or general running?
While you technically can, it is not recommended. These shoes are optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors, especially on abrasive surfaces like pavement, can quickly wear down the specialized outsole and reduce their performance and lifespan.
How do I determine the correct size for my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12?
It is best to refer to ASICS' official sizing chart, and measure your foot length accurately. Many athletes also find it helpful to try shoes on at the end of the day when their feet are slightly swollen, and wear the type of socks they would use for playing.
What does the 'Gel' in Gel-Rocket refer to?
The 'Gel' in ASICS Gel-Rocket refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning technology, which is strategically placed in the shoe to provide shock absorption and reduce impact during athletic movements. This helps to enhance comfort and protect joints.
Are these shoes available in other colors or sizes?
Yes, while this particular guide focuses on the Blue Fade Champagne in UK size 10, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 series is typically available in a range of colors and sizes to suit different preferences and foot dimensions. Check product listings for specific variant availability.
How often should I replace my indoor court shoes?
The lifespan of indoor court shoes depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular players, it's generally recommended to replace them every 6-12 months, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or outsole grip.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or develop blisters during play.
First, ensure your shoes are correctly sized and laced properly. A common cause is wearing the wrong type of socks; opt for moisture-wicking athletic socks. Also, break in new shoes gradually rather than wearing them for extended periods initially.
The shoes feel slippery on the court surface.
Clean the outsoles of your shoes regularly to remove dust and debris that can reduce grip. Ensure the court surface itself is clean. If the issue persists, the outsole tread might be worn down, indicating it's time for new shoes.
My shoes are starting to smell after use.
Remove the insoles after each use to allow them to air dry. Ensure the entire shoe dries completely between uses. Using shoe deodorizers or stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing them in sealed bags.
The shoe's materials are wearing out quickly.
Ensure you are using the shoes exclusively for indoor court sports as intended. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces can significantly accelerate wear. Follow proper cleaning and drying instructions to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced snugly but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for maximum support.
- Fit Check: Stand up and walk around to confirm a comfortable fit. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel secure.
- Socks: Always wear appropriate athletic socks to enhance comfort, manage moisture, and prevent friction.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for indoor court sports, including:
- Squash
- Badminton
- Volleyball
While they offer excellent performance in these specific activities, they are not optimized for outdoor sports, running on pavement, or general cross-training.
Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles after sweaty sessions to allow them to air out. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as this can trap moisture and promote bacterial growth.
- Rotation: If you play frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between uses, extending their lifespan.
