FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for other sports?
The ASICS Gel-Netburner Academy 10 is specifically designed for netball. While they may offer some support for other indoor court sports, their optimal performance and durability are best maintained when used for netball.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
What is the main benefit of the FLYTEFOAM technology?
FLYTEFOAM technology provides exceptional lightweight cushioning, offering excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel to help reduce fatigue during play.
How often should I replace my netball trainers?
The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and playing surface. For competitive players, replacing them every 6-12 months is generally recommended to ensure optimal performance and injury prevention.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Hand wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What does the '3D print on the upper' do?
The 3D print provides targeted support and structure to the upper while allowing for increased breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during activity.
Is there a warranty on these shoes?
Please refer to the retailer's or ASICS' official warranty policy for specific details on coverage and duration, as this can vary by region and purchase conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or causing pressure points.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. If pressure persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape, and a break-in period might be necessary. Consult the care section for lacing techniques.
Reduced traction on the court.
Check the AHARPLUS outsole for accumulated dust, dirt, or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the shoe has been used extensively, the outsole's grip may naturally diminish over time.
Discomfort during high impact activities.
Verify that the FLYTEFOAM and GEL technologies are providing adequate cushioning. Ensure the shoe is properly laced for support. If discomfort persists, consult with a sports podiatrist or a specialist retailer.
Upper material showing wear prematurely.
Ensure the shoes are only used for their intended purpose (netball). Avoid abrasive surfaces. Clean the 3D print upper gently as per care instructions to prevent material damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's structure.
Compatibility: The GEL-Netburner Academy 10 is specifically designed for netball court performance. While they offer excellent traction and support for this sport, their use on other surfaces like asphalt or indoor gym floors may result in accelerated wear or reduced grip.
Care: To maintain the quality and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
- Outsole: Periodically check the outsole for debris and clean if necessary to ensure optimal traction.
