FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Pulse 17 features an ergonomic fit that offers general support, but if you have severe overpronation or flat feet, you may wish to consult with a professional to see if you require custom orthotics.
Can I use these for cross-training or weightlifting?
These trainers are primarily designed for running. While they provide good cushioning, they may not offer the lateral stability needed for heavy weightlifting or multi-directional movement sports.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Pulse 17 are recommended for replacement every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running frequency, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are they true to size?
ASICS generally fit true to size. If you prefer extra room in the toe box or plan to wear thick performance socks, some users prefer to go up half a size.
Can I wash them in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes. The agitation and heat can damage the structure and the cushioning technology.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight after long runs
Feet often swell during exercise; try loosening the laces at the midfoot before starting your run or consider using a different lacing pattern.
Slippery on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole is durable, exercise extra caution on slick or polished surfaces as the tread is primarily optimized for dry road conditions.
Excessive dirt accumulation
Wipe down the outsole after every run on dusty or sandy paths to ensure the grip remains effective for your next training session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers last, consider these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear your new trainers for short walks before committing to long runs to allow the foam and upper to adjust to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid putting your trainers in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the adhesives and cushioning properties.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Surface Compatibility: Stick to paved roads, asphalt, and gym floors to maximize the life of the rubber outsole.
