FAQs
What type of sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 best suited for?
These trainers are ideal for indoor court sports such as badminton, squash, table tennis, and volleyball, where stability, grip, and cushioning are important.
How does the GEL Technology benefit performance?
The GEL Technology is located in the heel and provides excellent shock absorption during landings and high-impact movements, reducing stress on your feet and joints.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC technology?
TRUSSTIC technology is a midsole insert that provides torsional stability, helping to control pronation and support quick transitions without compromising flexibility.
Can these trainers be used for outdoor sports?
While they offer good grip, they are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. Use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole and midsole.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for sports.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard fit is designed for average foot widths. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible or look for specific wide-fit models if available.
What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?
The lifespan depends on the frequency and intensity of use, as well as the playing surface. For regular court players, replacing shoes every 6-12 months is common to maintain optimal performance and support.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the court
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is also clean. If the outsole appears significantly worn, it may be time for a replacement.
Discomfort during play
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check if the shoe size is appropriate. Consider if the shoe's cushioning and support meet your specific needs for the sport being played.
Mesh upper feels too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the forefoot area. Allow the mesh to naturally conform to your foot shape over a few wears. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before engaging in any sport. Adjust the laces for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for indoor court surfaces such as wood, linoleum, or synthetic gym floors. They are suitable for various racket sports and volleyball.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
- Outsole: Regularly check the rubber outsole for wear and tear to ensure optimal grip is maintained.
