FAQs

What sports are these ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers most suitable for?

These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports, with particular suitability for badminton and squash, providing the necessary support and grip for these activities.

What is ASICS GELTM technology and how does it benefit me?

ASICS GELTM technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb shock during impact and provide a more comfortable and adaptive experience. It helps protect your joints and enhances performance during rapid movements in sports.

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

It is crucial to try on the trainers before making a decision. Pay attention to the UK size, as labels may sometimes show US/Euro sizes that differ. Ensure there's comfortable space for your toes and no pinching or excessive slipping.

Can these trainers be used for outdoor activities?

While durable, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are primarily designed with a rubber sole optimized for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors frequently may lead to premature wear of the sole and may not provide optimal performance or grip on outdoor terrains.

How should I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 trainers?

For the synthetic upper, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. The rubber sole can be brushed to remove debris. Always allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Are these trainers suitable for both men and women?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are designed as a unisex product, suitable for adult athletes of all genders who engage in indoor court sports.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toes to the ankle for a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if standard lacing doesn't provide desired comfort.

Poor grip on the court surface

Check the rubber sole for dirt, dust, or debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth to restore traction. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Verify you have the correct size and wear appropriate athletic socks. Ensure laces are not overtightened in specific areas. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for additional cushioning or arch support if needed.

Unpleasant odor develops in trainers

Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles to air dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing them in a damp, enclosed space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Upon receiving your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, the primary setup involves lacing them to achieve your ideal fit.

  1. Unpack: Remove trainers from the box.
  2. Lace Up: Insert your foot and adjust the laces to be snug but not tight. Ensure an even tension across all eyelets.
  3. Test Fit: Walk around and perform some light movements (e.g., small jumps, pivots) to confirm comfort and support. Remember the importance of trying them on to verify the UK size before use.

Compatibility

These trainers are specifically designed for indoor sports, particularly excelling in badminton and squash. They are suitable for adult athletes of all genders, offering the necessary grip and support for court activities. While they can be worn casually, their features are optimized for the demands of indoor athletic performance.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed) to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Brush off any accumulated dust or debris from the rubber sole to maintain optimal grip.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
  • Sizing Note: Always try on your footwear before returning, as the box or label may state a US/Euro size which is different to the UK size. Ensure you are satisfied with the UK size fit.
