FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Gel-Pulse 17 is specifically designed for road and asphalt surfaces. The outsole pattern lacks the deep lugs required for loose or uneven trail terrain.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running trainers should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Are these trainers machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the internal structure and the GEL cushioning system. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the primary function of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing the load on your joints during the impact phase of the stride.
Do these trainers have extra arch support?
The Gel-Pulse 17 features an ergonomic construction designed for general foot support, though it is categorized as a neutral trainer.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
New trainers often require a 'break-in' period of 20-30 miles to allow the foam and materials to adapt to your foot movement.
Slippage during runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly using the 'runner's loop' if necessary, and check that the size corresponds correctly to your foot measurement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.
- Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you have appropriate room in the toe box for swelling during long runs.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials and harden the rubber.
