ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers - Purple - UK 6

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are designed for general running and training. For marathon distances, consider models with more advanced cushioning and support specifically built for endurance.

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not tight.

The durable rubber outsole provides good traction for light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running and general training. For technical trails, specialized trail running shoes with aggressive lug patterns are recommended.

The GEL cushioning is strategically placed to absorb shock during the impact phase of running or movement. This helps to reduce stress on your joints and provides a softer feel underfoot.

For running shoes, it is generally recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or cushioning has compressed.

While the outsole provides traction, the breathable design means they are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but for heavy rain or wet conditions, water-resistant or waterproof footwear is advisable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check sock compatibility.

Clean the outsole to remove any debris. Check for excessive wear on the rubber tread. Ensure the surface being used is suitable for the shoe's grip.

Remove insoles and air dry shoes completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Washable insoles can be cleaned separately.
