FAQs

What type of running are these shoes best suited for?

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers are best suited for everyday running, road running, and general training. They offer good cushioning and traction for moderate distances.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or try on the shoes in person. Generally, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing.

Can these trainers be used for other sports?

While they can be used for general fitness activities, they are optimized for running. For sports requiring significant lateral support or specific cleat systems, dedicated shoes are recommended.

How often should I replace my Gel-Pulse 17 trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support. This can vary based on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you run on.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 trainers feature a breathable mesh upper and are not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and performance in dry to moderately wet conditions.

What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The primary benefit of the GEL cushioning system is its ability to absorb shock effectively, reducing the impact on your feet and joints during running.

Troubleshooting

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check that your socks are appropriate and do not have irritating seams.

Reduced cushioning over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term use, but performance may naturally decrease after extensive mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running or when you notice a significant reduction in shock absorption.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that might impair grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 are primarily designed as running shoes, compatible with standard athletic socks. They are suitable for various running surfaces including roads, treadmills, and light trails. They are not designed for specialized sports requiring specific cleat patterns.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Laundering: Do not machine wash or dry the trainers.
