FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically engineered with an indoor-specific rubber outsole that may wear down rapidly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
They offer standard athletic support for neutral foot types. If you have specific medical orthotic needs, you may want to swap out the factory insole.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult athletic trainers.
Can I use these for volleyball?
Absolutely. The GEL cushioning and indoor traction make them an excellent choice for volleyball and other court sports.
Troubleshooting
Losing grip on the court floor
Clean the soles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and court residue which can impede traction.
Foot feels slightly loose during play
Ensure the laces are tightened using a 'heel lock' lacing method to improve ankle security and overall fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, always ensure you have the correct fit; as a UK size 12, these are designed for standard adult foot volumes. To maintain the shoes, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after use to remove sweat or dust. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the integrity of the adhesive and the cushioning properties. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators.
