FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed specifically for tennis and lateral movement support, not for forward-motion running.
How do I maintain the leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary, but generally, a soft, damp cloth is sufficient to keep the upper clean.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the TRUSSTIC technology provides structural integrity and midfoot support, which aids in overall arch stability.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics.
Are they waterproof?
While leather is naturally water-resistant, these shoes are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during initial wear
The leather upper requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short sessions before full matches to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Reduced traction on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove surface debris and regain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Asics Gel Dedicate 9s, start by checking the fit; the leather construction should be snug but not restrictive around the midfoot. These shoes are best suited for standard hard courts but are compatible with various court surfaces.
For care, wipe the leather exterior with a slightly damp, soft cloth after use to remove clay or dust. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the leather and the cushioning materials. Store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the longevity of the foam.
