FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel Pulse 17 is designed for neutral foot types. If you require significant arch support for flat feet, you may need a separate orthotic insole.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 271 grams, making it lightweight for a cushioned trainer.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
How long should these trainers last?
Typically, running shoes last between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you use.
What does the 8mm heel drop mean?
The heel drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot, promoting a comfortable landing transition for most runners.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose in the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique using the additional eyelet at the top of the lacing system.
Outsole collecting debris
Gently pry out small rocks or grit from the tread patterns using a blunt tool after runs to prevent long-term damage.
Material showing signs of wear
If the tread is thinning, inspect the AHARPLUS heel plug; if the wear extends beyond the rubber into the midsole, it is time to replace the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Asics Gel Pulse 17, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter sessions for the first few days to allow the upper to conform to your foot.
- Surface Compatibility: These are specifically designed for road and gym surfaces; avoid using them on loose gravel or muddy trails to maintain the traction of the outsole.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insoles and let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to protect the cushioning foams and adhesives.
