FAQs
What sports are the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 suitable for?
These shoes are ideal for indoor court sports such as badminton, volleyball, squash, and other similar activities that require quick movements and agility.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor activities or running?
No, the ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. Using them outdoors can cause premature wear to the outsole and may not provide optimal performance or support for running.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes?
Wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher grime, a soft brush can be used. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What does 'non-marking rubber outsole' mean?
A non-marking rubber outsole is designed to provide excellent traction on indoor court surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks, helping to keep the court clean and undamaged.
How often should I replace my indoor court shoes?
The lifespan of your shoes depends on the frequency and intensity of your play. Generally, for active players, indoor court shoes may need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or outsole grip.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The product information does not specify if these shoes are designed for wide feet. ASICS typically offers a standard fit. If you have wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and appropriate fit.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Like most athletic footwear, a short break-in period is often beneficial. Wear them for a few lighter sessions or around the house before engaging in full-intensity play to allow the shoes to mold to your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on court.
Ensure the non-marking rubber outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. Wipe it with a damp cloth or use a specialized court shoe cleaner. Also, verify that the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Discomfort or rubbing during play.
Check your lacing to ensure it's snug but not too tight. Experiment with different sock types (e.g., cushioned athletic socks). Confirm you have the correct shoe size; an incorrect fit can cause discomfort. Allow for a break-in period for the shoe to adapt to your foot.
Excessive wear on the outsole.
Verify that the shoes are being used exclusively on indoor court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces will significantly accelerate wear. Regular cleaning can also prevent premature wear caused by embedded grit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for maximum ankle support. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet before engaging in intense play.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes wood, synthetic, and other typical indoor gym floors. *They are not recommended for outdoor use*, as abrasive outdoor surfaces can quickly degrade the outsole and reduce performance.
- Sports: Ideal for badminton, volleyball, squash, and other similar indoor court sports requiring quick movements, jumps, and lateral agility.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the upper and outsole with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's construction and materials.
