Full details

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning is designed to provide optimal shock absorption, reducing the impact on your feet and joints during physical activity.
Are these trainers suitable for trail running?
The high-resistance rubber outsole offers superior traction, making them suitable for light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running and general training, and may not provide the specialized support needed for technical trails.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers?
Clean with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper for ventilation and a high-resistance rubber outsole for durability and traction.
Can these trainers be worn for sports other than running?
While versatile for general training, they are optimized for running. For sports requiring specific lateral support or ankle stability, dedicated sports shoes may be more appropriate.
What does 'high-resistance rubber outsole' mean for performance?
It means the outsole is made from a durable rubber compound that is designed to withstand wear and tear, providing excellent grip and longevity on various surfaces.
How does the breathable mesh upper contribute to comfort?
The mesh material allows air to circulate freely through the shoe, helping to keep your feet cool and dry by preventing heat buildup.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a comfortable fit. If the tightness persists, consider if this is the correct size or if the lacing technique needs adjustment.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides good traction, all rubber outsoles can be less effective on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort after a run
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check if the socks worn are appropriate. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs initially.
