FAQs
What type of activities are the Gel-Pulse 17 best suited for?
They are ideal for running, gym workouts, multisport activities, and general everyday casual wear due to their balanced cushioning and support.
How does the GEL technology improve performance?
The Rearfoot GEL Technology is specifically placed in the midsole to attenuate impact, providing enhanced cushioning and shock absorption during movement.
What makes the AHARPLUS rubber heel reinforcement beneficial?
AHARPLUS is ASICS' maximum abrasion-resistant rubber, offering superior durability in the heel area, making the shoes last longer under normal wear.
Is there anything unique about the insole's manufacturing?
Yes, the insole is made using a solution dyeing process, which significantly reduces water consumption (approx. 33%) and carbon emissions (approx. 45%) compared to traditional dyeing methods.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, as this can damage the materials and cushioning. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.
How much extra cushioning does the midsole have?
The Gel-Pulse 17 features an additional 2mm of foam in the midsole compared to previous models, enhancing underfoot cushioning.
What is the main benefit of the technical mesh upper?
The technical mesh upper provides excellent breathability to keep your feet cool and reduces the need for additional inserts, contributing to a lighter feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; if the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning can degrade. Ensure the shoes are not past their typical lifespan for regular use. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the AHARPLUS rubber provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth dampened with water and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
