FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis as well as padel?
Yes, the lateral support and cushioning make them highly effective for court sports, including tennis, provided the surface is compatible.
How do I clean the white synthetic leather?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the structural integrity of the overlays.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The EVA insole and TRUSSTIC unit provide structural arch stability designed to assist with torsional movement.
Is the sizing true to size?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing for adult footwear. If you prefer a wider fit or thicker socks, some users find sizing up by a half size helpful.
What is the benefit of the solution dye process?
The solution dye sockliner is an eco-friendly feature that reduces water usage and carbon emissions without sacrificing the comfort or durability of the insole.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of slipping inside the shoe during play
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to engage the synthetic leather overlays, locking the midfoot securely.
Visible wear on the outsole after minimal use
Verify that you are using the shoes primarily on court surfaces; using them on rough asphalt or concrete will cause rapid tread wear.
Stiff feeling during initial wears
The synthetic leather requires a short break-in period; wear them for light walking or warm-ups for a few sessions to soften the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to maintain the intended feel and support of the interior.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt after each game using a soft brush. If the shoes become damp from sweat, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep your trainers in a dry environment. Avoid leaving them inside a damp sports bag, as this can lead to odor buildup and degradation of the EVA foam components.
- Compatibility: These shoes are engineered specifically for court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces like concrete may wear down the specialized grip patterns of the outsole prematurely.
