FAQs
Can I use these shoes for running?
No, these are specialized padel shoes designed for lateral court movement, not for the linear impact of running.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The synthetic leather overlays provide some protection against surface moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes or use aggressive cleaning agents.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, ASICS typically follows standard sizing; however, always consult the size guide provided for your specific foot measurements.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole losing traction
Check the tread for debris buildup like sand or grit and clean it thoroughly with a stiff brush.
Uncomfortable fit or pressure points
Ensure laces are properly adjusted to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise, and ensure you are wearing athletic-specific moisture-wicking socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since they are primarily made of leather and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing; instead, gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or court residue. To maintain the structural integrity of the cushioning, remove the insoles after heavy sessions to allow the interior to air out completely. These shoes are specifically compatible with standard padel court footwear requirements.
