FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 11 trainers are designed for indoor court surfaces. Using them on rough outdoor surfaces can damage the outsole and affect their performance and longevity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to ASICS' official sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide specifically details the UK size 12.5 variant, but other sizes are available. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive tightness.
What is the primary sport these shoes are recommended for?
While versatile for various indoor sports, they are particularly well-suited for sports like badminton, volleyball, squash, and table tennis due to their support and traction features.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the difference between the Gel-Rocket 11 and previous models?
Each iteration typically brings minor updates to cushioning, stability, or material composition for improved performance. Specific details would be found in official ASICS product updates for the Gel-Rocket 11.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Gel-Rocket 11 provides general support suitable for most users during athletic activities. For specific or severe arch support needs, consider using custom or after-market insoles.
Troubleshooting
Slipping during play
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. The rubber outsole provides grip on clean indoor surfaces. If the issue persists, the shoes may be worn out or not suitable for the specific court conditions.
Discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter sessions. Ensure socks are appropriate for sports to prevent friction.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may compress with extensive use. For consistent cushioning, consider replacing the shoes after a significant period of regular, intensive training.

Care:
