FAQs
What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for neutral runners and mild overpronators who engage in daily running, road running, and general fitness training.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
Clean by hand using a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse lightly and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for shorter to medium distances, marathon runners seeking maximum cushioning and specialized support might consider models designed specifically for ultra-long distances.
Can I wear these for trail running?
The Gel-Pulse 17 has a durable rubber outsole that can handle light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running, and aggressive trail running may lead to excessive wear.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning technology is ASICS' proprietary system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on the lower body during impact.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight around the midfoot and heel.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For heavily wet conditions, exercise extra caution.
Feet feel too warm during runs.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Discomfort or rubbing after a few wears.
Try adjusting the lacing pattern or wearing thicker socks. If the discomfort persists, the fit might not be optimal for your foot shape.
Outsole shows signs of significant wear.
Consider replacing the trainers if the outsole grip is compromised, as this can affect performance and safety.
