FAQs
Can I use these shoes for running outdoors?
No, the Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically optimized for indoor court surfaces. The outsole is not designed for the wear and tear of pavement or road running.
How do I know my size?
These trainers are sized in UK measurements. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the slightly larger size to account for foot swelling during intense activity.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners are typically removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How long should these shoes last?
Durability depends on the intensity and frequency of use, but with proper care and exclusively indoor use, they are built to last through a full competitive season.
What is the primary difference between this and a running shoe?
Running shoes are designed for forward motion and heel-to-toe transitions, whereas the Gel-Rocket 12 provides lateral stability and grip needed for multidirectional court sports.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping on the court floor
Clean the soles of the shoes using a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris, which can compromise grip.
Tight fit around the instep
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks that are not overly thick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size. These shoes are designed for a performance fit, meaning they should feel secure around the midfoot without restricting your toes.
- Surface Compatibility: Only use these on indoor sports courts. Using them on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt will cause the specialized rubber outsole to wear down prematurely.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and court debris after every session using a soft, dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the cushioning materials and glues.
- Drying: Always air-dry in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials and reduce the lifespan of the GEL units.
