Full details

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
The GEL-DEDICATE 8 PADEL is primarily designed for standard court surfaces. If you primarily play on clay, consider specific models labeled for clay courts which feature deeper tread patterns.
How should I clean the synthetic leather?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn stains. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
Yes, the TRUSSTIC system provides midfoot support that contributes to a stable platform for the arch.
How long should a pair last?
Durability depends on usage frequency. Regular players should monitor the outsole tread; once the pattern begins to smooth out, grip will decrease significantly.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Is the sizing true to standard athletic shoes?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing, but because of the supportive leather upper, some players prefer a half-size larger than their casual dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness or pinching
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure on the top of the foot or ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks.
Slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are pulled snug through the eyelets and use a runner's loop at the top to lock the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your GEL-DEDICATE 8 PADEL shoes, ensure they are laced securely but not overly tight across the midfoot to allow for natural blood flow.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove court dust.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the leather materials.
- Storage: Keep in a well-ventilated area to prevent odor buildup and allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape.
- Compatibility: These shoes are specifically optimized for padel and tennis court surfaces; avoid wearing them on abrasive concrete or gravel surfaces to prolong the life of the outsole.
