FAQs
What types of sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 suitable for?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and table tennis, offering optimal performance and durability on those surfaces.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
ASICS typically runs true to size. We recommend referring to the official ASICS sizing chart and trying on the shoes with your athletic socks to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit without toes touching the end.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities or running?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is engineered for indoor court use. While they can be worn casually outdoors, using them for outdoor sports or running may compromise their durability, cushioning, and grip performance, as well as potentially damage court surfaces.
How should I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning in these shoes?
The GEL cushioning technology is strategically placed to absorb significant shock during high-impact movements like jumping and quick stops, providing superior comfort and helping to protect your joints during intense play.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is designed with an integrated support system that provides excellent stability and arch support, crucial for the dynamic and multi-directional movements in indoor court sports.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new athletic footwear. Allow for a short 'break-in' period by wearing them for shorter periods during practice before full game play. Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe will remain uncomfortable.
Lack of grip on the court surface.
The non-marking outsole can accumulate dust and debris, reducing traction. Regularly wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a specialized court shoe cleaner before and during play. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Moisture from sweat can cause odor. Always air out your shoes thoroughly after each use. Remove the insoles to help them dry faster. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or spraying with an athletic shoe deodorizer. Avoid storing them in a gym bag for extended periods.
Visible wear and tear on the outsole too quickly.
While durable, intense use on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure you are using these shoes exclusively for indoor court sports, as intended. Regular cleaning can also help prevent small debris from causing premature wear.

Setup
- First Fit: When you first receive your Gel-Rocket 12 shoes, try them on with the type of athletic socks you typically wear during play. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit without any pinching or excessive sliding.
- Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what provides the best support and comfort for your foot shape. Ensure the laces are firm but not overly tight.
Compatibility
- The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities like volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and table tennis. The outsole material and tread pattern are optimized for synthetic and wooden indoor court surfaces.
- Using these shoes for outdoor activities or on abrasive surfaces like asphalt can significantly reduce their lifespan and compromise performance.
Care
- Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior of your shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Remove insoles to allow for better air circulation and faster drying.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Odor Control: To combat odor, consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprays. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between uses.
