FAQs

What type of running are these trainers best for?

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are primarily designed for road running, jogging, and general fitness activities. They offer good cushioning and traction for these purposes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive movement.

Can I use these for trail running?

While the rubber outsole provides decent traction, these trainers are not specifically designed for trail running. They may lack the necessary protection and aggressive grip for uneven or muddy terrain.

How often should I replace my running shoes?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, the cushioning and comfort features make them suitable for walking as well as running.

What does the 'GEL' in GEL-Pulse refer to?

The 'GEL' refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning technology, strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check sock compatibility.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the outsole of dirt and debris. The outsole may be worn down; consider replacement if significant wear is visible.

Feet feel too warm

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses. Check if the lacing allows for adequate ventilation.
