FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces and may lack the necessary protection and tread depth for technical trail use.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing. The agitation and heat can damage the adhesives and the GEL cushioning system. Always hand-wash gently.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you frequent.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
Yes, they feature an ergonomic design intended to provide neutral arch support for most runners.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after a long run
Feet often swell during exercise. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks and consider loosening the laces during the run.
Outer sole losing traction
Check for debris embedded in the rubber treads. Clean the soles with a stiff brush to restore grip.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure the upper mesh is free from dirt buildup. Use moisture-absorbing inserts or crumpled newspaper to dry out the interior after training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, proper maintenance is essential:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the ergonomic structure to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and mud. If the shoes become very dirty, hand-wash them using mild detergent and cool water. Never use a washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning technology.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material fading and degradation.
