FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers are best suited for road running and everyday training. Their GEL cushioning and durable outsole provide comfort and stability on various paved surfaces.
How often should I replace my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice a significant reduction in cushioning and support. This can vary based on your running style and frequency.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers. Cleaning with mild soap, cold water, and a soft cloth is the preferred method.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, you may need to explore specific wide-fit running shoe options.
What is the main advantage of the GEL cushioning?
The primary advantage of GEL cushioning is its superior shock absorption capability. It effectively disperses impact forces, protecting your joints and providing a more comfortable running experience.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers are designed for neutral pronation and offer moderate support through their midsole construction. They may not be ideal for runners who require significant stability or motion control for overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them. If still too tight, consider if this is the correct size or if the specific lacing technique needs adjustment.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The high-resistance rubber outsole provides good traction, but very wet or icy conditions may reduce grip. Exercise caution in such environments.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. For consistent cushioning, consider replacing trainers every 300-500 miles.
Breathability seems low
Ensure the mesh upper is not clogged with dirt. Clean the shoes as per care instructions. If persistent, consider socks designed for moisture-wicking.
