FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12 are primarily designed for indoor court sports. While they offer cushioning, their outsole is optimized for court traction and may not provide the specific support or durability needed for road running.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash with a damp cloth and air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your feet and joints during high-impact movements common in sports.
How long do these trainers typically last?
The lifespan varies based on frequency of use, intensity of play, and court surface. For regular indoor court use, they are designed to provide reliable performance for a significant period, but consistent heavy use will eventually lead to wear.
Is this shoe good for a beginner in indoor sports?
Yes, the GEL-ROCKET 12 is a great option for beginners due to its balanced combination of stability, cushioning, and grip, making it easier to learn and play various indoor sports.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Discomfort during play
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic use. Break them in with shorter sessions.
Upper material feels stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot shape. Gentle flexing can also help.
Soles showing signs of excessive wear
This may indicate heavy usage or use on unsuitable surfaces. Inspect for damage and consider replacement if performance is compromised.
