FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers offer good cushioning for everyday runs and shorter distances. For marathon distances, runners may prefer shoes with more advanced cushioning systems or specific marathon-oriented designs.
How do I know if I have the right size?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel counter is snug but not uncomfortable, and there's no excessive pressure on the sides of your feet.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, the trainers are suitable for general gym workouts due to their supportive nature and cushioning. However, for activities requiring significant lateral stability like cross-training or heavy weightlifting, specialized shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The primary benefit of GEL cushioning is to absorb shock effectively during impact, reducing stress on your feet and joints and providing a smoother ride.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a decrease in cushioning and support.
What does 'high-resistance rubber outsole' mean?
This means the rubber used in the outsole is designed to be very durable and resistant to wear and tear, offering long-lasting traction.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check sock choice.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the outsole to remove embedded debris. If wear is significant, consider replacement as the rubber's grip may have diminished.
Feet feel too warm
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
