FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The GEL-PULSE 17 features a technical mesh upper that offers some flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard women's fit. For wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or check for specific wide-fit variations if available.

How do the FF BLAST and GEL technologies work together?

FF BLAST provides a soft, lightweight, and responsive cushioning throughout the midsole, while Rearfoot GEL technology is specifically placed to absorb shock upon impact, creating a smoother transition from landing to toe-off.

What makes the insole eco-friendly?

The insole is produced using a solution dyeing process, which uses approximately 33% less water and reduces carbon emissions by about 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Can I use these for trail running?

The GEL-PULSE 17 is primarily designed for road running and general fitness. The outsole offers good traction on pavement, but may not provide sufficient grip or protection for technical trail surfaces.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

These trainers have a flat heel height, typically between 1 to 3 cm, providing a stable base.

How durable is the AHARPLUS rubber heel?

AHARPLUS is ASICS' highly abrasion-resistant rubber. It is approximately three times more durable than standard outsole rubber, offering enhanced longevity in the heel strike area.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning over time

Cushioning technologies may naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if comfort is significantly diminished.

Feet feeling warm during activity

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. For very warm conditions, consider socks made of moisture-wicking material.

Outsole showing wear

The AHARPLUS rubber is designed for durability, but excessive wear may occur with very high mileage or on abrasive surfaces. The reinforced heel is designed to mitigate this.
