FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running outdoors?
No, these are specialized indoor court trainers and the outsole will wear out prematurely if used on asphalt or concrete.
Can I use these for tennis?
While they provide good grip, they are designed for court sports like volleyball or badminton. Tennis shoes often require more lateral reinforcement for harder outdoor surfaces.
How do I determine my size?
The Gel-Rocket 12 follows standard athletic sizing; it is recommended to select the same size as your usual training footwear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional arch support.
How should I clean the white exterior?
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently spot-clean the upper material.
Do these provide arch support?
The midsole provides stable, neutral support, but those with extreme flat feet may still prefer adding their own specialized inserts.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court surfaces
Wipe the bottom of the rubber outsoles with a slightly damp towel to remove dust build-up.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Re-adjust the laces to ensure they are not overtightened at the forefoot, allowing for natural foot expansion.
Noticeable odor after use
Remove the insoles after training to allow the interior to air out completely in a cool, ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size to prevent slippage inside the shoe during active play. Before your first session, verify the lacing tension is uniform across the foot for even pressure. Regarding care, these shoes should only be worn on indoor court surfaces to maintain the integrity of the rubber outsole. If they become dirty, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials and structural adhesives. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
