FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity gym workouts?
While the Gel-Pulse 17 is great for road running and walking, it is primarily designed for forward-motion activities. For lateral-heavy workouts, you may prefer a more stable training shoe.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and should accommodate most standard orthotic inserts.
How do I know which size to pick?
The Gel-Pulse 17 generally follows standard sizing. Refer to the size guide for UK 9.5 and ensure you account for the slight swelling that occurs in feet during long runs.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
The upper is designed for breathability, not water resistance. It will keep you cool, but it is not intended for use in heavy rain or deep puddles.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the wear patterns on the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'window lacing' or skipping the eyelet over the pressure point.
Outer sole wearing down faster than expected
Check your gait for excessive dragging or supination; consider having a professional analyze your running form.
Shoes holding odors
Remove insoles after use to let them dry independently and use an odor-neutralizing spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the size allows for a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to secure a lockdown fit, ensuring your heel does not slip.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as high temperatures can compromise the cushioning foam and adhesive bond.
- Rotation: If running daily, consider rotating with a second pair to allow the foam to decompress and moisture to evaporate fully.
