1. What makes the GEL-ROCKET™ 12 suitable for padel?
The GEL-ROCKET™ 12 features GEL™ cushioning technology for impact protection, TRUSSTIC™ support for lateral stability, and flex grooves for quick directional changes - all essential for padel's dynamic movements.

2. How does the sizing run for these shoes?
ASICS GEL-ROCKET™ 12 typically runs true to size. However, users with wider feet may want to consider ordering a half size up for optimal comfort during extended play.

3. Can I use these shoes for other court sports?
Yes, the GEL-ROCKET™ 12 is versatile enough for volleyball, badminton, and indoor tennis, thanks to its multi-directional support and non-marking rubber outsole.

4. How long do these shoes typically last?
With regular padel play (2-3 times per week), expect 6-8 months of performance. Durability depends on playing style, court surface, and proper care maintenance.

5. Are they suitable for outdoor padel courts?
While primarily designed for indoor use, they can handle outdoor artificial grass padel courts. However, the outsole may wear faster on rougher outdoor surfaces.

6. What's the difference between GEL-ROCKET™ 11 and 12?
The GEL-ROCKET™ 12 offers improved breathability with updated mesh construction, enhanced flex groove placement, and refined TRUSSTIC™ technology for better stability.

7. Do they provide good ankle support?
These are low-cut shoes designed for mobility. While they offer excellent lateral support through synthetic overlays, players requiring extra ankle support should consider additional ankle braces.

8. How much do they weigh?
The GEL-ROCKET™ 12 weighs approximately 310-330 grams per shoe (size 9), making them lightweight for quick movements while maintaining stability.

9. Are they good for players with plantar fasciitis?
The GEL™ cushioning provides good heel impact protection, but players with plantar fasciitis should consult a podiatrist and may need custom orthotics for optimal support.

10. What colors are available for 2025?
The 2025 collection typically includes classic white/blue, black/silver, and seasonal colorways. Availability varies by region and retailer throughout the year.

How to Measure

How to Measure

Follow the simple steps below to determine your shoe size. Make sure you do this during or at the end of day to ensure the right size (feet typically swell during the day).

Step 1: Put a piece of blank paper under your feet. Stand up straight and have your heel lightly touching against the wall.

Step 2: Have someone mark the end of the longest toe and back of your heel on the sheet with a pen or pencil. Afterwards measure the length of your feet from heel to toe.

Step 3: Repeat the steps for your other feet and compare it with our size chart.
