FAQs
Can I use these shoes for outdoor running?
No, these trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports and lack the necessary tread and cushioning for the demands of outdoor road running.
Are these shoes true to size?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 generally fits true to size for standard athletic footwear, but we recommend measuring your feet while wearing your preferred sports socks for the most accurate fit.
How often should I replace them?
For active players training 3-4 times a week, you should look to replace them every 6-9 months as the GEL cushioning and outsole grip begin to compress and wear down.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the factory-fitted sockliners can be removed, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Will these shoes leave marks on gym floors?
No, these are designed with non-marking rubber outsoles suitable for professional indoor gym environments.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Ensure the outsoles are free of dust and debris; wipe them with a slightly damp towel to restore grip.
Feeling of heel discomfort
Check that the shoe is properly laced; if discomfort persists, consider replacing the inner sockliner with a supportive aftermarket version.
Odour buildup
Remove the insoles after use to allow the shoe to breathe and use a deodorizing spray specifically designed for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, proper care is essential.
Setup and Fit: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly to lock the midfoot in place, preventing internal slippage. If you use custom orthotic insoles, ensure you remove the factory-installed sockliner before inserting your own to maintain the correct fit profile.
Maintenance and Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp.
- Usage: Strictly reserve these for indoor courts. Using them outdoors will lead to rapid degradation of the rubber outsole's specialized tread.
