Setup and First Use 1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely tied, providing a snug but not overly tight fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points. 2. Socks: Wear appropriate athletic socks that offer cushioning and moisture-wicking properties to enhance comfort and prevent blisters. 3. Break-in: Like most new athletic shoes, the Gel-Rocket 12 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot. ## Compatibility The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes: - Wooden gymnasium floors - Synthetic court materials (e.g., PVC, vinyl) - Rubberized sports flooring Using these shoes on abrasive outdoor surfaces (like concrete or asphalt) can accelerate wear and reduce performance. ## Care and Maintenance - Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the outsole, use a soft brush to remove debris and ensure optimal grip. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. - Drying: After use, remove any insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials. - Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb excess moisture.
