Can I use these for gym workouts?

The Gel-Pulse 17 features an ergonomic design that offers neutral support suitable for most runner foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using the secondary top eyelets to create a more secure heel lock.
Excessive moisture or sweat buildup
Ensure the shoes are fully aired out between sessions and consider moisture-wicking running socks.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with a damp brush to remove caked-on dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Use the lace-up system to secure your midfoot, ensuring your heel does not slip inside the shoe.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material degradation.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are best used on paved roads, sidewalks, and flat asphalt; avoid sharp rocks or rugged terrain to preserve the outsole.
