The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 Trainers are engineered for agility and support on indoor courts. The core of their performance lies in the ASICS GEL™ Technology, strategically placed to absorb impact and provide cushioning, which is critical during high-intensity movements common in badminton and squash. This adaptive cushioning helps reduce strain on your joints, allowing for sustained performance.

Unboxing and Initial Inspection: Remove the trainers from their packaging. Check for any visible defects.
Try-On for Fit: It is crucial to try on the trainers before significant use or returning. Pay close attention to the UK size as labeled, as US/Euro sizes on the box or label may differ. Ensure there's adequate room in the toe box and that the lacing provides a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight.
Lacing Adjustment: Customize the lacing to achieve your desired level of support and comfort. A well-adjusted lace system ensures foot stability during quick movements.
These trainers are specifically designed for indoor sports, with particular suitability for badminton and squash. They are compatible with various indoor court surfaces, providing optimal grip without leaving marks.
Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, wipe down any dirt or sweat with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove any debris or dust from the rubber sole. A clean sole maintains optimal court grip.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials.
Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove insoles after use to air out and consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
