Shoes Asics Gel Task for the gym
Player returning after a break, casual player on Tuesday evenings, young beginner in the club: the Asics Gel Task shoes are aimed at those who want a proper indoor pair, comfortable and supportive, without diving into the technical details of jumping models.
The page offers low versions and MT versions, with mid-top design, in women's and men's cuts.
Gel-Task: comfort and support above all
The Gel-Task focuses on a comfortable fit and a secure hold. It doesn’t aim to emulate a jumping shoe or high-end technology. Its promise is simpler: an indoor shoe that grips, doesn’t tire the foot, and supports the early seasons of play.
Low version or MT: which ankle type?
The MT version rises a bit higher on the ankle. It reassures a player who has previously had an ankle sprain or lacks support. The low version offers more freedom and is suited for those who like to feel their ankle free.
Which player is suited for the Gel-Task?
It is suitable for all positions in recreational play, from setter to receiver. In competition, a middle player who jumps a lot will prefer the Sky Elite, while a very mobile libero will choose the Netburner. The Gel-Task is also a good spare pair for training.

Frequently asked questions
What does MT mean on a Gel-Task?
MT refers to the mid-top version. It covers the ankle more than the low version, without going as far as a high-top shoe.
Is the Gel-Task suitable for a returning player?
Yes, it is comfortable and provides a good hold, without the technology of jumping models. For returning players, the MT version is reassuring for the ankle if you've previously had a sprain.
A Gel-Task for a rapidly growing teenager?
It's a reasonable option since it gets to the point. Leave a little space in front of the toes, but don’t get two sizes larger: a foot that floats loses its support.
Do you need special socks with indoor shoes?
Slightly thicker sports socks reduce friction and blisters. Avoid plain cotton, which retains moisture, and try the shoe with the socks you’ll wear during matches.
How to dry indoor shoes after a session?
Take out the insole, scrunch up some newspaper and place it in the shoe, and leave it to air out, away from direct heat. Direct heat warps the upper and weakens the glue.
