FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces and does not provide the protection or grip required for technical trails.
How should I clean my Gel-Pulse 17s?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
How long should these trainers last?
Generally, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and gait style.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
ASICS generally maintains consistent sizing across their performance running line, but it is recommended to measure your foot length to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the top of the foot and check if your current socks provide enough cushioning.
Build-up of dirt in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear stones or mud from the rubber grooves after each run.
Excessive moisture or odor
Remove the insoles after running and allow them to air dry independently from the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, remove any loose debris from the outsole after every run. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or machine washing them, as this can degrade the foam and glue. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the cushioning materials. Check your laces periodically for wear and ensure the fit feels snug but not restrictive across the midfoot.
