Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 is designed for female tennis players who prioritize stability and flexibility during court movement. Its core strength lies in its ability to provide a secure, locked-in feel during rapid lateral changes without restricting natural foot motion, though players seeking heavy-duty ankle support may find the low-profile build different from bulkier options.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
The GEL-DEDICATE 8 is primarily designed for hard-court play, though they can be used on other surfaces where the outsole tread provides sufficient grip.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; refer to your previous ASICS footwear size or use a standard measurement guide to ensure a correct fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the GEL cushioning units. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Is the sole removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable, which allows you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are they water-resistant?
The synthetic leather overlays provide some protection against minor moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are securely tightened in the eyelets to utilize the synthetic leather overlays for a locked-in fit.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or clay buildup. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-DEDICATE 8 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to avoid discomfort during movement.
- Break-in: While these offer a flexible feel, wear them for a few short practice sessions before long matches to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe synthetic leather overlays with a damp, soft cloth after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally in a shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
