FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are excellent for daily training and shorter to medium-distance runs. For marathon distances, runners often prefer shoes with more specialized cushioning and energy return features, though these can serve as a solid training option.
How do I know if the UK size 10.5 is the right fit?
Try them on with your typical running socks. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure there's no pinching or excessive tightness, especially in the forefoot and heel.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the GEL cushioning, adhesives, and mesh materials. Hand wash gently with cool water and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the main difference between the Gel-Pulse 17 and other ASICS running shoes?
The Gel-Pulse series generally offers a balance of cushioning and durability for everyday running. Models like the GEL-Nimbus or GEL-Kayano often provide more advanced cushioning technologies or stability features for specific running needs.
How often should I replace my ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers?
For optimal performance and injury prevention, running shoes are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers are designed for neutral pronation, meaning they offer balanced cushioning rather than specific motion control or heavy pronation support. Users needing significant arch support may consider consulting a running specialist for advice on insoles or stability shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight in width.
Ensure you have tried them on with your usual athletic socks. If still tight, consider if a wider fit is needed. The 'Green' variant may have a narrower profile than other colorways.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While designed for good traction, extremely wet or slippery conditions may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For challenging conditions, consider a shoe with specialized wet-weather grip.
Breathability seems low during intense workouts.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Check that the mesh upper is free from dirt or debris that might impede ventilation.
