FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay court tennis?
While these are designed for padel, the grip may perform differently on traditional clay courts; they are specifically optimized for the texture and grip requirements of padel courts.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water to gently wipe the leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the Gel-Dedicate 8 features a stable midfoot construction designed to support the natural arch of the foot during lateral maneuvers.
Can I remove the insole?
The insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required for additional support.
Are these sneakers waterproof?
The leather and synthetic materials are durable, but the shoe is not designed to be waterproof or submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for dust or sand buildup; wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth to restore grip.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and adjust lacing tension; leather materials often soften and conform to your foot after a few sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, choose your standard athletic shoe size as the Gel-Dedicate 8 features a standard performance fit. When first using the shoes, ensure the laces are tightened to provide a secure fit across the bridge of the foot, which is vital for lateral stability. To maintain the leather and synthetic upper, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth after every match to remove court dust and debris. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the bonding agents and leather quality. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material hardening.
