FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers offer good cushioning for moderate distances. For marathon running, you might consider models specifically designed for ultra-long distances with enhanced cushioning and support.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should not feel constricting.
Can I use these for cross-training in the gym?
Yes, the trainers provide sufficient support and cushioning for general gym activities. However, for activities requiring significant lateral movements, specialized cross-training shoes may offer better stability.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock effectively during impact, reducing stress on your feet and joints and providing a softer landing.
How often should I replace my running trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are not suitable for running in heavy rain or wet conditions if dry feet are a priority.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight
Consider ordering half a size or a full size up, as these trainers can run smaller than expected. Ensure you are wearing thin athletic socks for the initial try-on.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for longevity, but performance may decrease with extensive use. Rotate trainers if you run frequently to allow them to recover their structure.
Traction is slipping
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the shoes are significantly worn, consider replacing them as the tread may be depleted.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
While the mesh is breathable, extremely humid conditions or intense activity might lead to heat buildup. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the materials to degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are not compressed, which could affect their shape and cushioning.
