FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized netball trainers designed for court-specific movements rather than the linear motion of distance running.
How should I clean my white trainers?
Gently scrub the upper with a soft-bristled brush, water, and mild detergent, then air dry away from direct sunlight.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the design provides structural support for netball-specific movements, but you can insert custom orthotics if you require specific arch correction.
What is the benefit of the AHARPLUS outsole?
AHARPLUS is an Asics High Abrasion Rubber compound that is significantly more durable than standard rubber, helping the shoe last longer under intense court use.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to insert your own specialized orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during quick turns
Re-lace the shoes using the top eyelet loop for a more secure 'runner's knot' lockdown.
Outsole loses traction on indoor courts
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove court dust and ensure it is dry before playing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent shock absorption for jumping and pivoting
- Lightweight construction reduces drag
- High breathability thanks to the 3D print upper
- Superior outsole durability for high-intensity court play
Cons
- Not intended for non-court sports like distance running
- Requires regular cleaning to maintain white aesthetics
- Specific netball-oriented design may feel too stiff for casual walking
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Use the eyelet loop system to achieve a secure lockdown that suits your foot arch, but avoid overtightening to prevent circulation discomfort.
- Compatibility: These are optimized for netball courts. Using them on abrasive surfaces like asphalt can significantly accelerate outsole wear.
- Care: Clean the 3D print upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GEL cushioning properties and midsole adhesives. Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
