FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers offer good cushioning and support for training runs. For marathon distances, runners may prefer models specifically designed with extended long-distance comfort and durability in mind, though these can be used for marathon training.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?
While they can be used for light gym activities that involve some running, they are optimized for running. For workouts focused on weightlifting or agility, specialized training shoes might offer better stability.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on frequency of use, running surface, and individual gait. For regular training (3-4 times a week), expect them to last between 300-500 miles before the cushioning and support significantly degrade.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Gel-Pulse 17 is designed to offer a neutral support structure. They provide cushioning and comfort for a neutral foot strike. If you require specific pronation control, consult with a running specialist for alternative models.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow a break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the outsole using a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting grip.
Upper material feels too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Consider if the ambient temperature is higher than usual for the shoe's intended use.
