FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 suitable for?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports such as badminton, volleyball, and squash. Its features are optimized for the quick movements and surfaces found in these environments.
Is the outsole non-marking?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 features a non-marking outsole, ensuring it provides excellent grip on indoor court surfaces without leaving scuff marks or damage.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities?
No, these shoes are specialized for indoor court use. Their outsole material and tread pattern are not designed for the wear and tear of outdoor surfaces, which can lead to premature damage and reduced performance.
How should I clean my Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Always air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does 'Gel' technology do in these shoes?
The 'Gel' technology in ASICS shoes refers to strategically placed cushioning units, typically in the heel and/or forefoot. This helps to absorb shock during impact and provides a more comfortable and stable experience.
Are these shoes suitable for all skill levels?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 provides a great balance of support, cushioning, and durability, making them an excellent choice for players of all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes, in indoor court sports.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or get blisters during play.
Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Try different types of athletic socks or lacing techniques to adjust the fit. Sometimes, new shoes require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a specialist for insoles.
I am slipping on the court surface.
Check the outsole for dirt or debris; clean it thoroughly with a damp cloth to restore grip. If the outsole appears worn smooth, it may be time to replace the shoes as the tread has diminished.
The shoes are developing an odor.
Remove the insoles after each use and allow the shoes and insoles to air dry completely. You can use shoe deodorizers, odor-absorbing sachets, or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes (shake out excess before wearing).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes is straightforward. Before your first use, ensure you try them on with the type of socks you'll typically wear during play to confirm a comfortable and secure fit. Lace them up firmly but not so tight as to restrict circulation. A good lacing technique ensures even pressure across the foot, maximizing support.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities like:
- Badminton
- Volleyball
- Squash
- Table Tennis
- Other indoor court-based sports
The non-marking outsole is engineered to provide optimal grip on gym floors, wooden courts, and synthetic indoor surfaces without causing damage. They are not recommended for outdoor use on rough surfaces, as this can prematurely wear down the specialized outsole and reduce their performance and lifespan.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes, follow these care tips:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe off any dirt or dust from the upper and outsole with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, but avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after use. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside to absorb moisture and odors.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can encourage mold growth.
- Laces: Periodically check laces for wear and replace them if they become frayed.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for signs of excessive wear. While durable, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces can reduce grip.
