FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for men and women?

The ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 in this specific variant is designed for men, indicated by the gender attribute. While the technology can be beneficial for any player, sizing and fit might differ between genders.

What type of court surface is best for these trainers?

These trainers are ideal for artificial turf or clay court surfaces commonly used in padel. The durable rubber outsole provides optimal traction on these specific types of courts.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no excessive pressure points.

Can I wear these for general fitness or running?

These trainers are optimized for the specific movements required in court sports like padel. For general fitness or running, it is recommended to use shoes designed for those particular activities to ensure proper support and prevent injury.

How often should I replace my ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 trainers?

The lifespan of trainers depends on usage frequency, intensity, and court conditions. Visually inspect the outsole for significant wear and the cushioning for loss of responsiveness. For competitive play, replacing them every 6-12 months is common, or when performance is noticeably impacted.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC support unit?

The TRUSSTIC support unit, combined with the wrap-around sole, enhances overall stability by preventing excessive twisting of the foot. This allows for more confident and agile movements, especially during changes of direction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Try adjusting the lacing pattern or consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width. Refer to sizing charts and customer reviews for fit guidance.

Reduced traction on court

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Worn-out outsoles may need replacement, or the shoes may be nearing the end of their useful lifespan for optimal grip.

Discomfort during play

Confirm you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks provide adequate cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 is specifically designed for court sports such as padel. Its sole is engineered for optimal performance on artificial turf or clay courts commonly used in these sports. It is not recommended for running or activities requiring different types of traction and support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt from the outsole and upper. For a deeper clean, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
