FAQs

What type of running are these trainers best suited for?

The ASICS GEL-PULSE 17 trainers are best suited for everyday running, including road running and treadmill use. They offer good cushioning for moderate distances and daily training.

Can I use these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?

Yes, the combination of cushioning and a stable base makes them suitable for various gym activities and cross-training routines.

How do I clean my GEL-PULSE 17 trainers?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.

What is the benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

The Rearfoot GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to attenuate shock during the impact phase of your stride, providing enhanced cushioning and a smoother transition.

How does the FF BLAST cushioning contribute to performance?

FF BLAST cushioning provides a soft and responsive ride. It offers a good balance of plush comfort and energetic rebound, contributing to a comfortable and efficient running experience.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the technical mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are not intended for use in wet conditions.

What is the advantage of the AHARPLUS rubber heel reinforcement?

AHARPLUS rubber is ASICS' highly abrasion-resistant outsole material. In the heel area, it provides approximately three times more durability than standard rubber, extending the lifespan of the shoe in a high-wear zone.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system to your preference. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

Cushioning materials can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been heavily used for over 300-500 miles or if the cushioning feels significantly diminished.

Slipping or lack of traction

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The AHARPLUS rubber is designed for durability and traction, but performance can be affected by surface conditions and wear.

Feet feel warm or sweaty

The technical mesh upper provides breathability, but for very warm conditions or intense activity, consider moisture-wicking socks. Ensure the shoes are not too tightly laced, which can restrict airflow.
