Full details

The Asics Gel-Tactic 13 Handball Trainers in Grey/Blue, size 8 UK, are designed for adult male handball players seeking enhanced performance and comfort on the court.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running outside?

No, the Asics Gel-Tactic 13 trainers are designed for indoor court use. Their outsole is optimized for grip on court surfaces and may wear quickly or offer insufficient traction on outdoor terrains.

How do I clean the trainers?

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.

What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, providing superior cushioning and reducing stress on your joints.

Can these be used for other sports besides handball?

Yes, they are also suitable for other indoor court sports like volleyball, badminton, and squash, where similar support and cushioning are beneficial.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A proper fit means there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers?

The lifespan depends on usage intensity and frequency. For regular training and matches, they are built for durability, but for professional-level play, replacement might be needed every 6-12 months.

Does the grey and blue colour scheme have variations?

This specific product is the Grey/Blue variant in size 8 UK. Other colourways or sizes may be available separately.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have the correct size. If still tight, wear with athletic socks and allow a short break-in period. Laces can be adjusted for comfort.

Reduced grip on court

Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time for a replacement pair.

Discomfort after play

Verify the fit. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too constrictive. Allow the shoes to air out completely between uses.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption via GEL technology.
  • Provides a stable and supportive fit for court agility.
  • Durable materials ensure a long lifespan.
  • Comfortable cushioning for extended play.
  • Suitable for dedicated handball players.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for handball/court sports, not general training.
  • Specific fit may not suit all foot types.
  • Color accents are limited to blue, which may not match all kit preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size (Size 8 UK in this case) for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Specifically designed for indoor court sports such as handball, volleyball, and badminton. They are not recommended for outdoor use or general running as the outsole is optimized for court surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
