Asics GelRocket 12 Trainers - White - 9 UK

GEL™ Technology is a silicone-based cushioning material placed in key areas of the midsole (rearfoot and forefoot). It helps absorb shock during impact, providing a softer landing and smoother transition, which reduces stress on your joints during strenuous indoor court movements.

No, these trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports. The anti-slip sole is optimized for indoor surfaces and will wear down quickly if used outdoors, potentially compromising performance and durability.

We recommend trying the trainers on before purchase to ensure the best fit. Pay attention to the UK size, as US and Euro sizes on the label may differ. Your toes should have a small amount of space at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.

It's a good practice to wipe them down after each intensive use, especially the soles, to maintain grip. A more thorough cleaning of the upper and sole should be done periodically, depending on how frequently you use them and how much dirt they accumulate.

The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers typically have a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure comfort. Some users with wider feet may find them snug, so checking the fit in person is key.

The lifespan of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers depends heavily on your frequency of use, intensity of play, and how well you care for them. With regular use in indoor court sports and proper maintenance, you can expect them to perform well for several months to a year before cushioning and sole grip start to diminish significantly.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Check if the laces are tied securely but not too tightly. If the issue persists, consider replacing the insole with one that offers better grip or a different fit.

The anti-slip sole can accumulate dust and dirt, reducing traction. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove any residue. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.

First, ensure the trainers are the correct size and fit. Foot pain can result from ill-fitting shoes. Check for any pressure points. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit well within the shoe. If the pain persists, consult a medical professional.

A squeak can often be caused by the sole interacting with a very clean, smooth court surface, which indicates good grip. If it's a persistent, internal squeak, check the insole for movement; sometimes a small amount of baby powder under the insole can resolve this.
