FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
While the Gel-Pulse 17 provides excellent comfort, it is primarily designed as a daily road trainer. Whether it is suitable for a full marathon depends on your individual gait and support needs.
How should I clean the trainers?
Clean the shoes by hand using lukewarm water, a soft cloth, and a mild detergent. Air dry them naturally.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the Gel-Pulse 17 features a removable sockliner that can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.
What surfaces are these best for?
These trainers are specifically engineered for hard, paved surfaces such as roads, asphalt, and concrete paths.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity of your training and the wear patterns on the outsole.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or rubbing on the heel
Ensure the shoe is fully laced up to the eyelet to lock the heel in place and prevent slippage.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the shoe
Remove the removable sockliner after your run to allow better airflow and use moisture-absorbing inserts if necessary.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded pebbles or debris in the grooves and clean with a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Pulse 17, begin by wearing the shoes for shorter walks to allow the foam to conform to your unique stride. Always ensure the laces are tied securely but not overly tight to maintain proper blood flow and foot stability. For care, avoid using a washing machine, as the high heat and agitation can damage the cushioning materials. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the rubber and fabrics from becoming brittle.
