FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Pulse 17 is primarily designed for neutral runners. If you have severe flat feet, you may wish to consult with a professional regarding the use of specific orthotic insoles.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
They are ideal for treadmill running and cardio, but they lack the heavy-duty lateral support required for weightlifting or multidirectional court sports.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and your body weight.
Are they waterproof?
No, these trainers feature an engineered mesh for breathability and are not designed to be waterproof.
How do I choose the right size?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing. It is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort during long runs
Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider using a lacing technique that accommodates your specific foot width.
Outsole losing traction
Check for debris wedged in the tread pattern and clean with a brush; if the rubber is visibly worn smooth, it may be time for a replacement.
Inner lining wearing out
Always untie your laces before removing your shoes to prevent friction-based wear on the heel collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, always ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. These trainers are standard road shoes; they are not compatible with trail-specific performance requirements. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can compromise the GEL cushioning and adhesive bonds. Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
