FAQs

What is the primary sport these shoes are designed for?

The ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 trainers are primarily designed for padel and tennis sports due to their specific outsole for traction and stability features.

How does the GEL cushioning benefit the player?

The GEL cushioning technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, which helps reduce impact on your feet and joints during play, leading to greater comfort and less fatigue.

What does TRUSSTIC technology do?

TRUSSTIC technology is a support unit in the midsole that enhances stability and helps control torsional rigidity, allowing your feet to move more freely and improving agility during lateral movements.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

While designed for a secure fit, the lace-up system allows for some adjustment. However, for significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort, as they are not specifically marketed as wide-fit shoes.

How do I clean the ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 trainers?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is flat, providing a stable base for athletic movements.

What is the environmental benefit of the insole?

The insole is produced using a solution dye process that reduces water consumption by 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.

Allow for a break-in period of a few wearings. Ensure laces are not overtightened. Consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.

Reduced traction on court.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Ensure the court surface is dry.

Discomfort after long play sessions.

Verify correct lacing for adequate support. Ensure the correct shoe size and width are chosen. The GEL cushioning may need time to adapt to your foot's needs.

Synthetic material shows signs of wear.

Ensure the shoes are used for their intended sport only. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or abrasive surfaces. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
