FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-PULSE 17 suitable for marathon running?
While the GEL-PULSE 17 offers good cushioning for runs, it's primarily designed for general running, gym use, and shorter distances. For marathons, a shoe with more specialized long-distance support and cushioning might be preferable.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the difference between FF BLAST and GEL technology?
FF BLAST is a midsole foam that provides a soft, lightweight, and responsive ride. Rearfoot GEL technology is a material placed in the heel to attenuate shock during impact, enhancing cushioning.
Can I replace the insole with a custom orthotic?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if needed for personalized support.
How durable is the AHARPLUS rubber heel?
AHARPLUS rubber is ASICS' highly abrasion-resistant rubber, designed to be approximately three times more durable than standard outsole rubber in the heel area, extending the shoe's lifespan.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is between 1 to 3 cm, providing a slight elevation without being excessive.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the GEL-PULSE 17 features a breathable mesh upper which is not waterproof. They are designed to keep your feet cool, not dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened properly before putting on and then tightened to a comfortable level. Consider wearing them for shorter durations initially to allow for a break-in period.
Feet feel warm or sweaty during use
The technical mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. If persistent, check for any debris blocking the mesh.
Slipping during lateral movements
While designed for forward motion and general training, the outsole grip may vary on different surfaces. Ensure the shoes are laced securely. For highly specific lateral sports, dedicated court shoes might offer superior grip.
Visible wear on the heel area
The AHARPLUS rubber is designed for durability. However, excessive friction or specific gait patterns can accelerate wear. Ensure your gait is natural and avoid dragging your heels.
