FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes suitable for?
They are specifically designed for indoor court sports, including but not limited to *volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and table tennis*.
How should I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS sizing can vary slightly. It's generally recommended to refer to the ASICS size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit. This specific variant is a UK 12.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities?
While you technically can, these shoes are optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors, especially on abrasive surfaces like asphalt, will cause premature wear to the outsole and reduce their intended performance.
What is the benefit of the Gel cushioning system?
The Gel cushioning system is designed to absorb shock from impacts, reducing stress on your joints during strenuous activities like jumping and quick directional changes, thus enhancing comfort and protecting your body.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
The lifespan depends on your frequency of play, intensity, and care. As a general guideline for regular players, consider replacing them every 6-12 months, or when you notice significant wear to the outsole, reduced cushioning, or persistent discomfort.
Are there different color options available for the Gel-Rocket 12?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 typically comes in various colorways, though this particular guide focuses on the Black UK 12 variant. Other variants, such as Blue and White, are available.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or get blisters after wearing the shoes.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks. Check if the shoes are laced too tightly or too loosely. A break-in period might be needed; gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and fit.
The grip on the court feels less effective over time.
Regularly clean the outsole to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread; if the tread is significantly worn, it might be time to replace the shoes.
The shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles after each use and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Ensure proper drying after cleaning.

Care
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to maintain their shape.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles overnight to absorb odors.
