FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed specifically for indoor court sports and do not provide the necessary cushioning or support for long-distance road running.
Can I use these for outdoor pickleball?
While they provide great grip, outdoor courts are abrasive and will wear down the specialized indoor rubber outsole very quickly. It is recommended to use them strictly for indoor courts.
How should I clean the exterior of the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Do not submerge them in water.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
Yes, they typically feature removable sock liners that can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
Is the sizing consistent with other Asics models?
Yes, Asics generally maintains consistent sizing across their performance range, though it is always recommended to use your specific UK size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and court residue build-up.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly to distribute pressure across the top of the foot and check that you are wearing sport-appropriate socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, proper care is essential. Since these are intended for indoor sports, ensure the soles are kept clean of dust and debris, as grit can compromise the rubber's grip on court surfaces. Wipe the outsoles with a slightly damp cloth after use if necessary. To maintain the structural integrity of the shoe, avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and cushioning foam. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
