FAQs
What kind of sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 suitable for?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, and pickleball.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities or running?
While durable, the outsole is optimized for indoor court surfaces and may wear down quickly or offer suboptimal grip on outdoor terrain. They are not recommended for outdoor running or other outdoor activities.
What is ASICS GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system placed in the rearfoot of the shoe. It's designed to absorb impact, reduce shock during landings, and provide a smoother transition from impact to toe-off.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the Trusstic System?
The Trusstic System is a lightweight component located under the arch of the shoe that provides enhanced torsional stability. It helps maintain the shoe's structure during quick, lateral movements, reducing the risk of twisting.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS typically runs true to size. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always best to try them on to ensure the perfect fit for your UK size 9.5.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or blisters after playing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear moisture-wicking athletic socks. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider using different insoles or consulting a specialist.
Reduced grip on the court surface
Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove any accumulated dust or dirt, which can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. Check for excessive wear on the outsole tread, which might indicate it's time for new shoes.
Shoes developing an odor
Remove insoles after each use and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Use shoe deodorizers or fill shoes with baking soda in a sock overnight. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before storing. Avoid leaving them in a gym bag.
