FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for clay courts?
Yes, while the Gel-Dedicate series is versatile, there are specific variants designed with specialized clay-court outsoles for better grip.
How long does the break-in period last?
Most users find that the synthetic leather begins to conform to the foot after 3 to 5 hours of active court play.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
The design includes integrated torsion control that provides rigid support through the midfoot, assisting with neutral arch positioning.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the sock liner is removable, allowing you to insert most standard medical or performance orthotics.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can cause the adhesives to fail and the synthetic leather to crack. Clean by hand only.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure more evenly across the arch.
Interior buildup of debris
Remove the sock liner after play, shake it out, and use a soft brush to clear any dust or grit trapped inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK shoe size against standard ASICS sizing as the leather upper provides a secure, structured fit that does not stretch as much as fabric. For care, keep the sneakers in a dry, ventilated area after play to allow moisture to evaporate from the interior. If they become dusty or muddy, wipe the synthetic leather with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the Gel inserts and compromise the integrity of the leather bonds.
