FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 Trainers best suited for?
These trainers are primarily designed for indoor court sports, excelling in activities like badminton and squash. They provide the necessary support and grip for quick, dynamic movements on indoor surfaces.
How do I choose the correct size?
It's important to try on the trainers to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Pay attention to the UK sizing, as it may differ from US/Euro sizes sometimes printed on the box. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space at the front and that the lacing provides a snug fit without being too tight.
Can I use these trainers for outdoor running or training?
While durable, these trainers are specifically engineered for indoor court surfaces. Their sole pattern and cushioning are optimized for indoor traction and movements. Using them extensively outdoors, especially on rough surfaces, may reduce their lifespan and performance.
What is ASICS GEL™ Technology and how does it benefit me?
ASICS GEL™ Technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing for smoother movement. In the Gel-Rocket 12, it provides adaptive cushioning that responds to your individual performance, enhancing comfort and reducing stress on your joints during intense play.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 Trainers?
For the synthetic upper and rubber sole, gently wipe them clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
Are these trainers suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 Trainers are designed as a unisex product, suitable for both men and women engaging in indoor sports.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing different thickness socks to optimize fit. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Slipping on the court during play.
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly to remove any dirt or dust buildup, as this can reduce grip. Ensure the court surface is also clean and dry. Check if the sole is worn out, indicating it might be time for a new pair.
Foot discomfort or pressure points.
Re-evaluate your lacing. Try different lacing patterns that distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure your socks are appropriate for athletic activity and provide adequate cushioning. If discomfort persists, consult a specialist to check for proper fit and support.
