Full details
The Asics Gel Rocket 12 is a versatile indoor trainer engineered specifically for court athletes who prioritize stability and shock absorption during high-intensity play. Featuring specialized GEL technology and a non-marking outsole, these shoes are ideal for volleyball and other hardwood court sports where quick pivots and explosive jumps are frequent; however, users should note that these are optimized for indoor surfaces and may wear quickly if used regularly on abrasive outdoor terrain.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes for running?
These shoes are designed for lateral court movements, not forward-motion running. Using them for long-distance running will result in premature wear and lack of necessary support.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Gel Rocket 12 features a standard performance fit. Those with wider feet may find them snug and might need to consider a different model or a larger size.
Does the rubber sole leave marks on the floor?
No, these shoes feature a non-marking rubber compound specifically designed to be safe for indoor gym floors.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials and rubber compounds to degrade over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Gel Rocket 12 includes a removable sockliner that can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for dust or debris buildup and wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth to restore grip.
Feeling of discomfort in the arch
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to leverage the TRUSSTIC support system; consider aftermarket orthotics if issues persist.
Odour buildup
Remove the removable sockliner after play and use a shoe deodorizer or place the shoes in a well-ventilated space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel Rocket 12 trainers, proper care is essential. Since these are intended for indoor use, try to carry them to the gym and put them on only when you reach the court to protect the tread from debris. To clean the upper mesh, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and cushioning foam. If the inner sole becomes damp from sweat, remove the sockliner and let it air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the material.
