FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers offer good cushioning and comfort, making them suitable for marathon training and shorter marathon distances. For ultra-marathons or if you require maximum cushioning and support over very long distances, you might consider models specifically designed for extreme endurance.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive brushes or harsh detergents that could damage the material. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning technology is designed to absorb shock effectively, reducing impact forces on your feet and joints during high-impact activities like running. This helps to provide a smoother ride and minimize post-run soreness.
Can I wear these for gym workouts?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers can be used for various gym workouts, including cardio machines and light weight training, due to their cushioning and stable outsole. However, for highly specialized activities like heavy weightlifting or specific court sports, dedicated trainers might offer better performance.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Gel-Pulse 17 provides moderate arch support integrated into its design. Runners who require significant or specialized arch support (e.g., for overpronation) might benefit from consulting with a running specialist or considering insoles.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to maintain their material integrity and prevent odors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Consider trying a half-size larger or exploring wider fit options if available. Break in the shoes gradually over several runs.
Soles feel slippery
Clean the outsole to remove any debris or mud that may be reducing traction. For significantly worn outsoles, replacement may be necessary.
Feet feel overheated
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, allowing for better air circulation. Consider moisture-wicking socks. For very hot conditions, ensure the shoes are fully dry from previous use.
Discomfort during runs
Verify the shoe size and fit. Check the lacing technique. If discomfort persists, consider the possibility that the shoe's support or cushioning profile may not be suitable for your specific foot type or running gait.
