FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 trainers are designed for indoor court sports and lack the specific cushioning and support required for running.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or consult the UK sizing information. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with a small amount of space at the toe.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and the GEL technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the primary sport these trainers are intended for?
While versatile for many indoor court sports, they are commonly used for activities like badminton, squash, table tennis, and volleyball.
Do these trainers offer ankle support?
The Gel-Rocket 12 offers standard support for a low-cut trainer. For individuals requiring significant ankle stability, higher-cut shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is engineered to provide exceptional shock absorption, protecting joints from impact during athletic movements.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on the court.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Court surface conditions can also affect grip.
Feet feel fatigued after play.
Verify that the shoe size is correct and provides adequate support. Consider using additional insoles if necessary, though the built-in GEL technology should offer sufficient cushioning.
Shoes feel stiff during initial wear.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Soles show excessive wear.
This may indicate frequent use on inappropriate surfaces or extremely demanding play. For optimal longevity, use only on recommended indoor courts.
