FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 offer good cushioning for shorter to mid-distance runs (up to 10k). For marathon distances, you might consider models specifically designed for long-distance endurance with enhanced support and cushioning.

Can I wear these for trail running?

No, these trainers are designed primarily for road running and general fitness. The outsole pattern is not optimized for the unpredictable terrain and grip required for trail running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.

What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The primary benefit of GEL cushioning is its ability to absorb shock during impact, reducing stress on your joints and providing a more comfortable running or walking experience.

How often should I replace my trainers?

For running shoes, it's generally recommended to replace them every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning in the midsole.

Can the insoles be removed or replaced?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired.

Troubleshooting

Slight squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to air trapped between shoe components. Try flexing the shoe or walking on different surfaces. If persistent, ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort after first wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit.

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean the trainers using a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can warp the shoes.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean before storage to prevent odor build-up.
