FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for other sports besides netball?
The ASICS Gel-Netburner Academy 10 is specifically designed for netball. While they offer good support and cushioning, their features are optimized for the demands of netball courts. For other sports, it's generally recommended to use footwear specifically designed for those activities.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. It's also recommended to try the shoes on with the socks you typically wear for netball to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, and air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the heel and forefoot is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing the stress on your joints during play.
How often should I replace my netball shoes?
The lifespan of netball shoes depends on frequency of use, playing style, and court conditions. Typically, significant wear and tear on cushioning and support can occur after 6-12 months of regular play, indicating it may be time for a replacement.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This particular model is available in a white colourway. Other ASICS netball shoes or different versions of the Gel-Netburner Academy series may be available in alternative colors.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the specific width is suitable for your foot. Some break-in time may be required for new shoes.
Reduced grip on court
Check the outsole for accumulated dirt or debris and clean it with a damp cloth. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. The grip may also naturally decrease with significant wear over time.
Excessive foot fatigue after play
Verify that the shoe size is correct and provides adequate support. Ensure the cushioning is still effective; with heavy use, cushioning can degrade. Consider if the shoe is appropriate for the intensity of your play.
