FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Trainers offer good cushioning for road running and can be suitable for marathons for runners who prefer a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. However, for ultra-marathon distances or for runners needing maximum cushioning, other models might be more specialized.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot at the end of the day when feet are typically at their largest. Compare your measurement to the ASICS sizing chart. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit, especially considering the specific fit of the Gel-Pulse series.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies depending on usage frequency, intensity, and terrain. For regular runners logging significant mileage, replacement every 300-500 miles is often recommended to maintain optimal cushioning and support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the trainers feature a breathable mesh upper which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation, not for protection against water.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The primary benefit of the GEL cushioning is its ability to absorb shock effectively during impact, which helps to reduce stress on the joints and provide a more comfortable running experience.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring different lacing techniques to adjust the fit.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
The outsole is designed for general traction. For extremely wet or icy conditions, consider specialized footwear. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Poor ventilation leading to sweaty feet.
Ensure the mesh upper is not obstructed by dirt or debris. For extended runs, consider moisture-wicking socks.
Wear and tear on the outsole.
Regular cleaning of the outsole can help maintain its integrity. If significant wear is observed, it may be time to replace the trainers.
