FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Gel-Pulse 17 is designed for sustained road running and provides the cushioning necessary for moderate to high-mileage training.
Can I use these for court sports like tennis?
No, these are specialized for forward-motion running. They lack the lateral stability features required for court sports.
How often should I replace my ASICS trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers are sized for adults; always refer to the specific UK size guide and consider that running shoes are often best when half a size larger than your casual footwear.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot; re-lacing using the runner's loop can also provide a more secure, customizable fit.
Accumulation of small stones in the tread
Regularly inspect the outsole and use a blunt tool to dislodge debris to maintain optimal grip on the road.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, proper maintenance is key.
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after running. If the shoes are muddy, wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking them in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam density.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place. Avoid direct sunlight or using a radiator, as excessive heat can cause the glue and materials to warp or break down.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape between uses.
