FAQs
Can these be used for outdoor tennis?
No, these are strictly indoor court shoes. Using them outdoors will cause the soft rubber outsole to wear down extremely quickly.
How do I determine the right size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the GEL inserts and the structural adhesives. Use a soft brush and water to clean stains.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The Gel-Rocket 12 has a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them slightly snug initially, though the materials may break in slightly.
What is the primary surface these shoes are made for?
They are designed for smooth, flat, non-abrasive surfaces such as gym floors, wooden courts, and synthetic indoor sports mats.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the court floor
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth or a dedicated floor-grip solution to remove dust accumulation.
Heel slippage during movement
Adjust your lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to secure the ankle more firmly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of shock absorption for landing impact
- Excellent traction on wooden and synthetic indoor floors
- Lightweight build prevents foot fatigue
- Durable construction for repetitive court movements
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor sports use
- Limited cushioning in the forefoot compared to premium running shoes
- Indoor-specific tread pattern wears out quickly on abrasive surfaces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines: For setup, ensure you choose your standard UK sizing, as the trainers are designed to provide a performance-snug fit. Compatibility is best with indoor athletic socks that manage moisture effectively. For care, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust buildup, which is the primary cause of grip loss on indoor courts. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the bonding agents and cushioning technology.
