FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best for?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are best suited for road running, treadmill running, and general fitness training due to their cushioning and stable outsole.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash or soak the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry.
How often should I replace my trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300-500 miles of use, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.
Are these trainers suitable for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road running and general training. For trail running, a shoe with more aggressive tread and enhanced protection would be more appropriate.
What does the GEL cushioning do?
The GEL cushioning system is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, protecting your joints from impact during repetitive movement.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few short wears. Ensure socks are pulled up properly and laces are adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good grip, performance on very wet surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that could affect traction.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure the mesh upper is not obstructed and is clean to allow for maximum ventilation. Consider using moisture-wicking socks.
