FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor netball courts?
The Asics Gel-Tactic 13 Netball Shoes are primarily designed for indoor netball court surfaces. While they can be used outdoors, their outsole may wear down faster on abrasive outdoor surfaces due to the specialized rubber compound for indoor grip.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and consult the ASICS size chart. Always try them on with the type of socks you'd wear for netball, ensuring a comfortable fit with a small gap at the toe for movement.
What is the 'Gel' technology in the shoes?
The 'Gel' in the name refers to ASICS' signature GEL cushioning system. This technology is strategically placed in high-impact areas of the shoe to absorb shock during impact and provide a more comfortable and smoother ride. Specific placement details for this model are optimized for netball movements.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash netball shoes as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally.
Are these shoes only for female players?
While sometimes categorized with a 'Female' gender attribute, the design and performance features of the Asics Gel-Tactic 13 Netball Shoes are suitable for any adult netball player seeking optimal support, cushioning, and agility on the court, regardless of gender.
How long do netball shoes typically last?
The lifespan of netball shoes like the Asics Gel-Tactic 13 depends on frequency and intensity of use, as well as proper care. With regular, intense play, they typically last one to two seasons before the cushioning and support properties begin to degrade, indicating it's time for replacement.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Most athletic footwear, including the Asics Gel-Tactic 13 Netball Shoes, may benefit from a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter training sessions or light activities before an intense game to allow them to conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. A slight break-in period may also be necessary as the materials conform to your foot.
Loss of grip on the court
Check the outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dust and debris. Clean the soles thoroughly with a damp cloth to restore traction. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Foot fatigue or discomfort after playing
While the shoes offer good cushioning, ensure they are laced correctly for optimal support. If issues persist, consider whether additional arch support or specialist insoles might be beneficial, or consult a footwear professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Ensure proper fit by trying the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear for netball. There should be a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically designed for netball and are ideal for adult players. They are optimized for performance on indoor court surfaces, where the outsole provides optimal grip and durability. While usable outdoors, prolonged use on abrasive outdoor courts may lead to faster wear.
Care
To maintain the durability and performance of your Asics Gel-Tactic 13 Netball Shoes, clean them regularly. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the upper and outsole after each use. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials. Avoid machine washing as this can compromise the shoe's structure and adhesives. Check laces for wear and replace them if they become frayed.
