FAQs
What is the main advantage of the GEL-PULSE 17?
The main advantage is the combination of FF BLAST and GEL technologies, providing excellent underfoot cushioning and shock absorption for a comfortable running and training experience.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for daily training and shorter to mid-distance runs. For marathons, you might consider specialized marathon shoes with advanced support and durability features.
Can I wear these shoes for trail running?
The Gel-Pulse 17 is best suited for road running and gym activities. While it may handle very light, groomed trails, it lacks the aggressive traction and protective features required for serious trail running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically maps foot length to specific UK, US, and EU sizes. It is also recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What is the difference between GEL-PULSE 17 and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-PULSE 17 is positioned as a versatile trainer offering a balance of cushioning and comfort for everyday use. Other ASICS models might offer more specialized features like enhanced stability, maximum cushioning, or lightweight racing designs.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, it's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation rather than water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you are using the correct size; consider trying a different size if the issue persists.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been used extensively for running or high-impact activities for a prolonged period.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean from dirt and debris. For significantly worn outsoles, replacement might be necessary.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
While the mesh upper is breathable, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are not overly tight, which can restrict airflow.
