FAQs

What is the best way to determine my size?

We recommend trying on the shoes to ensure the best fit. Sports shoes often require a slightly different fit than casual shoes; ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor netball courts?

While the Gel-Tactic 13 is highly durable, it is primarily designed for optimal performance and longevity on indoor court surfaces. Outdoor surfaces can be abrasive and may cause faster wear to the outsole and upper materials.

How often should I replace my netball shoes?

The lifespan of your netball shoes depends on your frequency and intensity of play. Generally, look for signs of wear such as reduced cushioning, diminished grip on the outsole, or loss of structural support. Professional players might replace them more frequently than casual players.

How do ASICS GEL shoes provide cushioning?

ASICS GEL Technology utilizes silicone-based material strategically placed in the midsole, often in the heel and forefoot. This material effectively absorbs shock during impact, dissipating it away from your body and providing a more comfortable and protected feel.

Can I use my custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the Gel-Tactic 13 features a removable ORTHOLITE sockliner, allowing you to easily replace it with your custom orthotics for personalized support and comfort.

Do these shoes come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Asics Gel-Tactic 13 series is available in various sizes and color options to suit different preferences. Please check the product listings for other available variants.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or blisters during play

Ensure you are wearing the correct size; netball shoes should fit snugly but not constrictively. Check your lacing technique for pressure points. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking sports socks. Allow for a break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your foot shape.

Slipping on the court surface

Regularly clean the outsole of your shoes to remove any accumulated dust or debris that can reduce grip. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the outsole tread is visibly worn, it may be time to replace your shoes.

Shoes feel too heavy or clunky

Netball shoes are designed with significant support and cushioning, which can add weight compared to minimalist footwear. Focus on proper movement techniques and allow time to adjust. Ensure your lacing isn't too loose, which can make shoes feel less responsive.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

Always air out your shoes thoroughly after each use. Remove the sockliners to allow them to dry separately. Consider using shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

  1. Lacing: Ensure you lace your shoes securely, but not too tightly. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. A 'runner's loop' can help secure the heel.
  2. Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period of a few training sessions to let the shoes mold to your feet.

Compatibility

These shoes are specifically designed for adult female netball players and are best suited for indoor court surfaces. Their construction and grip are optimized for the demands of netball, including frequent stopping, starting, and lateral movements. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their performance and durability may be compromised on rougher outdoor courts.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After use, wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials.
  • Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally. Remove the sockliner to help the interior dry faster and prevent odor buildup. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause materials to crack or shrink.
  • Storage: Store your netball shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or damp environments, which can degrade materials and encourage bacterial growth.
  • Odor Management: If odors develop, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
