FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gel-dedicate 9 is designed for court sports like Padel. The stability features that aid in lateral movement do not provide the necessary flexibility for long-distance road running.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For active players, we recommend replacing your court shoes every 6 to 12 months, or sooner if you notice the cushioning losing its rebound or the outsole pattern wearing down significantly.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes specifically for women?
Yes, this specific model (ASICS Gel-dedicate 9) is designed for the female foot profile.
How should I dry them if they get wet?
Remove the laces and insoles, then let them air dry naturally. Avoid heat sources like radiators or blow dryers, as heat can deform the materials and degrade the cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp pivots
Ensure the laces are securely tightened to lock the midfoot in place, as a loose fit can reduce the efficacy of the stability features.
Accumulation of court dust affecting grip
Periodically clean the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove buildup and restore the traction patterns of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-dedicate 9 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These are designed as adult performance footwear. Always ensure you are wearing the correct size to allow the GEL cushioning to align properly with your heel and midfoot.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dust or clay after every match with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become damp, remove the laces and insoles to allow them to air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Never place them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Surface Compatibility: While these are high-performance court shoes, they are engineered specifically for Padel and court use. Avoid wearing them on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt regularly, as this will significantly accelerate outsole wear.
