FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
The Gel-Pulse 17 is primarily designed as a daily trainer. While durable, marathon runners may prefer shoes with more aggressive energy return features depending on their personal goals.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the GEL cushioning. Please clean them by hand.
Are these neutral or stability shoes?
The Gel-Pulse series is generally categorized as a neutral trainer, designed to support natural gait cycles.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your foot support needs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the top of the foot and verify that the socks used are specifically designed for moisture-wicking.
Accumulation of dust on the mesh
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the upper mesh to maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have selected the correct size; the shoe should feel snug but allow for natural toe splay.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes feel comfortable immediately, a few short walks or light runs will help the upper material mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine as this can damage the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the breakdown of the glue and technical fabrics.
