Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed specifically for court sports. Running in them may not provide the necessary flexibility or cushioning required for forward-motion foot strikes.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesives and the integrity of the synthetic upper. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary function of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is placed in the heel to absorb shock and protect your joints from impact during movement.
Is the upper material breathable?
The synthetic upper is designed for durability and structural support, balancing comfort with the toughness needed for court movement.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened using the top eyelet to create a secure lock-down fit, or consider thinner performance socks.
Outer sole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or buildup and wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short sessions before intense matches to allow the synthetic upper to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust and court grit. Avoid submerging in water.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
- Insoles: If you use custom orthotics, remove the factory-provided sock liner for a better fit.
