FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Asics Gel-Pulse 17 is designed for maximum breathability, which means they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for treadmill and road running, the cushioning is specialized for forward motion; they may provide less lateral stability than dedicated cross-training shoes.
How do I know if the Gel-Pulse 17 is right for my arch?
These trainers feature an ergonomic design suitable for most neutral foot types, but it is recommended to consult a gait analysis professional if you have specific orthotic needs.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these true to size?
Yes, Asics generally follows standard sizing, though it is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the toe to account for foot swelling during runs.
What is the primary surface for these shoes?
They are optimized for road, asphalt, and treadmill use.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust your lacing technique, such as using a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the ankle more firmly.
Outer sole wearing down quickly
Ensure you are primarily using these on paved surfaces as intended, as constant use on rough gravel or concrete can accelerate wear.
Discomfort or pinching
Verify that your sock thickness is consistent with the shoe's fit and ensure you are wearing the correct size for your arch type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Pulse 17 trainers last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks or light jogs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape before undertaking long-distance runs.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If needed, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy and the integrity of the rubber outsole.
