FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor volleyball?
No, the Gel Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor hardwood or gym floors. Using them outdoors will cause the rubber outsole to wear down prematurely.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer to wear thick sports socks, some users find a half-size larger more comfortable.
Can I remove the inner sole to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own orthopedic support if needed.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild detergent and cold water. Let them air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
Are they non-marking?
Yes, they feature a high-quality non-marking rubber compound designed specifically to avoid leaving streaks on indoor gymnasium floors.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Ensure the rubber outsoles are free of dust or debris. Wiping the soles with a damp cloth before play can restore grip.
Discomfort during initial use
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly around the bridge of the foot. Allow 2-3 sessions for the upper mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior shock absorption with forefoot and heel GEL
- Excellent traction on indoor hardwood surfaces
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
- Enhanced lateral stability via TRUSSTIC technology
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor concrete or asphalt surfaces
- Specific indoor design limits multi-sport versatility on non-court surfaces
- May require a break-in period for the ankle support structure
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a secure fit, utilize the lace-up closure system to customize tension across the midfoot and ankle. These shoes are compatible with standard indoor sports orthotics if additional arch support is required. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. If the trainers become dirty, wipe the mesh upper gently with a soft cloth and mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesive bonds in the sole.
