FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed specifically for indoor court sports. They lack the heel-to-toe transition and cushioning profile necessary for long-distance running.
Can I use these on outdoor tennis courts?
It is not recommended. The outsole rubber is designed for indoor surfaces and will wear down rapidly on abrasive outdoor concrete or asphalt.
How do I determine my size?
ASICS trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you have worn ASICS before, order your usual size, or check your local store for a fitment test if you are between sizes.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner can be removed, making them compatible with most aftermarket or custom orthotic insoles.
How should I clean the white mesh?
Use a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution to spot-clean the mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals that may bleach or weaken the synthetic fibers.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and floor debris that can cause sliding.
Discomfort or pressure points
Check your lacing technique. Try using a 'runner's loop' or adjusting the tension across the bridge of the foot to relieve pressure.
Odor buildup after intense play
Remove the insoles after training sessions to allow the internal shoe cavity to dry out completely in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your ASICS Gel Rocket 12 trainers, ensure they are laced securely to match your foot's width for optimal lockdown. These trainers are standard fit for court sports; if you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-provided sockliner to maintain proper volume inside the shoe. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the integrity of the cushioning foam. Instead, wipe away dust and surface dirt with a damp cloth after each use to keep the outsole rubber clean, which is critical for maintaining maximum grip. Always allow them to air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from drying out or warping.
