FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?

No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces can quickly wear down the outsole and may compromise their performance and durability.

What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 best for?

These shoes are ideal for a variety of indoor court sports that require quick lateral movements, jumping, and stability, such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis.

How do I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the outsole with a brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using a dryer.

Do ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes run true to size?

ASICS generally aims for consistent sizing, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, especially for performance-oriented footwear. This specific model is a UK size 8.5.

How long do these shoes typically last?

The lifespan of your Gel-Rocket 12 shoes depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as care. With regular indoor play and proper maintenance, they are designed for durable performance, but heavy users may need to replace them annually.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics if needed for personalized arch support or cushioning. Ensure the orthotics fit properly within the shoe without causing discomfort.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on court surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean of dust, dirt, or debris. Use a damp cloth to wipe the sole. Check if the court surface itself is clean. If the shoes are old, the outsole tread might be worn, indicating it's time for a replacement.

Foot discomfort or rubbing during play

Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic activity (moisture-wicking, seamless). Try different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points. A break-in period is often necessary for new shoes to fully adapt to your foot.

Shoes developing an odor

Always air out your shoes after each use by removing them from your gym bag. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Upper material appears worn quickly

While built for durability, aggressive toe dragging or sliding on abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure proper footwork techniques. If wear seems excessive for normal use, review warranty information or contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### First Use & Break-In While the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 typically offers comfort out of the box, a short break-in period of a few hours of light activity is recommended. This allows the shoe's materials to conform to your foot shape, ensuring the best possible fit and performance on the court. ### Compatibility These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces, such as hardwood, synthetic gym floors, and specialized court mats. They are not recommended for outdoor use on asphalt, concrete, or grass, as these surfaces can prematurely wear down the outsole and reduce the shoe's intended performance characteristics. ### Care & Maintenance To ensure the longevity and performance of your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes, follow these care instructions: - Cleaning: Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and sweat. For the outsole, use a brush or damp cloth to clear any debris that might affect grip. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesive. - Drying: After use or cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to shrink, crack, or degrade. - Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to maintain their shape. - Odor Control: To prevent odors, allow shoes to air out after each use. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used if needed.
