Extended Product Information

The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 excels in dynamic indoor sports environments where quick cuts, jumps, and lateral movements are constant. The integrated GELTM Technology in the midsole effectively dissipates impact forces from landings and sprints, providing critical shock absorption for your knees and ankles. This allows athletes to maintain comfort and reduce fatigue throughout extended matches in sports like volleyball, where frequent jumping is required, or squash, with its rapid, explosive movements.The synthetic upper offers a snug, supportive fit that cradles the foot during aggressive maneuvers, preventing unwanted foot slide within the shoe. This stability is crucial for maintaining balance and control during quick changes in direction, such as pivoting in handball or lunging for a shot in badminton.The anti-slip traction outsole is specifically patterned and composed to grip polished indoor court surfaces without marking, ensuring reliable footing. This traction is vital for explosive take-offs, secure landings, and preventing slips during intense rallies, giving players the confidence to push their limits.For optimal performance, ensure the shoes are clean before each use to maintain the outsole's grip effectiveness. These shoes are built to support agility, provide cushioning, and offer stability for the demanding nature of indoor court sports.

Setup1. Sizing Check: Before first use, confirm the UK size matches your requirement. Note that shoe labels may show US/Euro sizes, which differ from UK sizing. Try on the shoes with your preferred sports socks to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.2. Lacing: Lace the shoes securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot flexion while providing adequate support.## CompatibilityThese shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. They are ideal for activities such as volleyball, squash, badminton, table tennis, and handball. The outsole material and tread pattern are optimized for synthetic, wooden, and rubber indoor court surfaces. They are not recommended for outdoor use, as rough outdoor surfaces can prematurely wear down the outsole and reduce its specialized grip.## Care1. Cleaning: For the synthetic upper, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.2. Outsole Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded dirt or debris that could reduce traction. Clean the sole with a damp brush if needed.3. Drying: After use, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as these can damage the materials. You can remove insoles to speed up drying.4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Filling them with crumpled newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
