FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports. Using them on outdoor, abrasive surfaces can quickly wear out the outsole and diminish their performance and longevity.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 sneakers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove insoles and hand wash them if necessary. Always air dry your shoes and insoles at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
What indoor sports are these shoes best for?
These shoes are ideal for a variety of indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, and pickleball, where quick, agile movements and good grip are essential.
Is the sizing true to fit?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. However, it's always recommended to consult the official ASICS size chart. If possible, trying them on or comparing them to your current athletic shoes can help ensure the best fit.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 provides a foundational level of support and cushioning. For individuals with specific arch support needs, considering custom insoles or orthotics in conjunction with these shoes may be beneficial.
Will the non-marking outsole leave scuffs on my gym floor?
No, the outsole is specifically made from non-marking rubber. This material is designed to provide excellent grip on indoor court surfaces without leaving any scuff marks or damage to the flooring.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel uncomfortable or sore after playing
Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Check your lacing technique; over-tightening or too loose laces can cause discomfort. Consider trying different athletic socks or after-market insoles for additional arch support or cushioning if needed.
Slipping on indoor court surfaces
First, ensure the court surface is clean and dry. Check the outsole of your shoes for any dirt, dust, or debris that might be reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth. If the problem persists, inspect the tread for excessive wear; a worn-out sole will lose its grip.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor
Allow your shoes to fully air dry after each use, especially if they become damp with sweat. Remove the insoles to help them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizer sprays, odor-absorbing sachets, or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight to neutralize smells. Avoid storing shoes in a sealed gym bag.
Lack of expected support during lateral movements
Verify that the shoes are laced securely, especially through the top eyelets, to lock your heel in place. An appropriate fit is crucial; if the shoe feels too wide, your foot might be shifting excessively. For very specific support needs, consult a podiatrist about custom orthotics or specific insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the shoes are laced snugly but not too tightly. Utilize all eyelets for optimal support around the ankle. A secure fit is crucial for preventing slips and discomfort during play.
- First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to break them in, especially if they feel stiff. Always wear appropriate athletic socks.
Compatibility
- Surface: These sneakers are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes wood courts (gymnasiums), synthetic courts (badminton/squash courts), and other non-abrasive indoor sports flooring.
- Avoid: Do not use these shoes for outdoor running, trail running, or on abrasive outdoor surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this can prematurely wear out the outsole and compromise performance.
- Activity: Ideal for sports like volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, pickleball, and general indoor gym workouts that involve lateral movement.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning:
- Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap) to remove dirt and grime.
- For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used on the outsole.
- Remove insoles and wash them by hand if needed, allowing them to air dry.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a gym bag or damp environment for extended periods, as this can encourage odor and mildew.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Remove powder before wearing.
