ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 - Blue - 9.5 UK

No, the Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports. Its outsole is optimized for indoor surfaces and may wear prematurely or offer inadequate grip on outdoor courts.

We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to the ASICS size chart. It's often best to try them on, ensuring a snug fit without being too tight, with about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Washing machine use is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and structural integrity. Instead, clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

For optimal comfort and performance, wear moisture-wicking athletic socks. These help manage sweat, reduce friction, and prevent blisters during play.

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and intensity. As a general guideline, consider replacing indoor court shoes every 6-12 months, or sooner if you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or outsole grip.

The GEL technology in the Gel-Rocket 12 is typically encapsulated within the midsole for a seamless design and effective shock absorption, so it may not be directly visible from the exterior.

Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can reduce traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Consider trying different athletic socks or replacing the shoe's insoles with custom orthotics if discomfort persists.

After each use, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and let it sit overnight (remove before next use).

This can indicate specific foot mechanics or playing styles. While normal wear occurs, consider consulting a sports shoe specialist or physical therapist if it's unusually fast or uneven, as it might suggest a need for different support or technique adjustments.
