FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are designed for indoor court sports and are not optimized for general running. Their construction focuses on lateral support and grip for quick movements on court.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Consider the specific fit recommendations for this model, as some users suggest they may run slightly narrow.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and cushioning. Hand clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption, reducing stress on your joints during impact.

How often should I replace my Gel-Rocket 12 trainers?

Replacement frequency depends on usage. For regular players, consider replacing them every 6-12 months, or when you notice a significant loss of cushioning or grip.

Are there other color options available for the Gel-Rocket 12?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 comes in various colorways, including blue and white options, catering to different preferences.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the ASICS sizing guide.

Slipping on the court

Ensure the court surface is clean and free from dust or debris. The rubber outsole is designed for indoor courts; check that the shoes are appropriate for the specific court material.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The GEL technology may become less effective over time with heavy use. Consider replacing the shoes if you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption or comfort after extended wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption for joint protection.
  • Superior grip for enhanced court stability.
  • Lightweight feel promotes agility and speed.
  • Durable materials for long-lasting use.
  • Comfortable for extended training sessions.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort.
  • Sizing can vary, so checking measurements is recommended.
  • Primarily designed for indoor court sports, not outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use straight out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is designed for indoor court sports. The rubber outsole provides optimal grip on clean indoor surfaces like wood or synthetic courts. They are not recommended for outdoor use or on abrasive surfaces, as this can wear down the outsole prematurely.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
