FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces. The outsole pattern may not provide sufficient grip on loose dirt or rocky terrain.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Pulse 17?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the surface. Do not machine wash or tumble dry these trainers.
Are these suitable for people with wide feet?
The Gel-Pulse 17 features an ergonomic design, but fit can vary by individual. It is recommended to try them on to ensure the width is appropriate for your foot shape.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is designed to absorb shock during the heel strike phase of your gait, reducing the impact forces transmitted through your legs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points during runs
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; check if the footbed is correctly positioned within the shoe.
Outsole losing traction
Check the rubber treads for trapped debris or pebbles; clean with a soft brush if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Pulse 17 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have verified your UK size (e.g., 10.5 UK for the Orange model) as a proper fit is essential for the GEL technology to function correctly under your stride.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform shorter walks or light jogs for the first few days to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near heat sources like radiators or inside a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the foam and adhesive components.
