Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass courts?
These shoes are specifically engineered for padel courts; while they may work on other surfaces, their traction is optimized for the grip required in padel.
Is the material real leather?
The product features durable synthetic leather overlays for enhanced protection and longevity.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
These are standard adult sizes; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe for optimal comfort during play.
Can I use these for jogging?
No, these are court-specific sneakers and lack the necessary flexibility and cushioning profiles for the repetitive forward motion of jogging.
How often should I replace them?
It is recommended to replace them every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency of play and visible wear on the outsole and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Loss of traction on the court
Clean the soles thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove dust and court grit which can make the rubber slippery.
Creasing or stiffness in the upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure and prevent deep, permanent creases in the synthetic leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since these are performance leather sneakers, avoid machine washing or soaking them in water, as this can degrade the synthetic material. Instead, wipe away surface dust and court debris with a dry brush or a slightly damp, soft cloth after every session. Store the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and materials from drying out or discolouring. Check the soles periodically for embedded pebbles or grit, which can reduce traction and cause premature wear to the rubber outsole.
