FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the GEL cushioning provides good shock absorption, these trainers are primarily designed for general training and shorter runs. For marathon distances, consider specialized long-distance running shoes.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing provided for the Gel-Pulse 17.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is engineered to absorb impact effectively, reducing stress on your feet and joints during activity, contributing to overall comfort and performance.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation rather than protection against heavy rain or water.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies based on usage frequency, intensity, and surface conditions. With proper care and regular use for running and training, they typically last between 300-500 miles or 6-12 months.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort upon first wear
New shoes often require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Feet feel warm during intense activity
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Clean any debris from the mesh to maintain maximum breathability.

Care:
