ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 - Blue - 6.5 UK

These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, and other gym-based activities requiring stable and agile footwear.

No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is not recommended for running or outdoor use. Its outsole is optimized for indoor court surfaces and will wear down quickly on abrasive outdoor terrain, compromising grip and durability.

It is generally recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the ASICS size chart. For court shoes, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If possible, try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and with the socks you typically wear for sports.

Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean. Always air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

ASICS GEL technology refers to silicone-based cushioning placed in key areas of the midsole. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, protecting your joints and providing a more comfortable experience during dynamic movements and landings.

The lifespan of your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes depends heavily on your frequency of play, intensity, and footwork. For active players, court shoes typically last between 6 to 12 months before the cushioning and outsole grip start to degrade, signaling a need for replacement.

Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 are typically removable. This allows for easier cleaning and the option to insert custom orthotics if needed.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking athletic socks. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size is correct; sometimes a half-size up or down, or trying a different width, can make a significant difference. Give the shoes a short break-in period if new.

First, inspect the outsole for dirt or dust buildup and clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth. A dirty outsole significantly reduces grip. Also, check the court surface itself for dust or spills. If the issue persists, the outsole might be worn down, indicating it's time for new shoes, as worn soles lose their traction capabilities.

Remove the insoles after each use and allow both the insoles and the shoes to air dry completely. You can sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure you wear clean, moisture-wicking socks to help prevent odor buildup. Do not store shoes in a closed, damp bag.
