FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running long distances?

These trainers are specifically designed for court sports, which involve lateral movement. They are not recommended for long-distance running, which requires different cushioning and support profiles.

How do I know if these are the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement during play.

Can I use these on outdoor courts?

Yes, the Gel-Dedicate 8 GS features a durable outsole suitable for various court types, including hard courts.

How do I clean the white synthetic leather?

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of gentle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor or weaken the material.

What is the function of the Trusstic unit?

The Trusstic support unit is a molded component under the midfoot that prevents the shoe from twisting unnecessarily, providing increased stability.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, this specific model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe during play

Ensure the laces are securely tightened across the midfoot to leverage the synthetic overlays for a locked-in fit.

Build-up of court dust on the outsole

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to maintain traction on smooth court surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable synthetic leather upper
  • Balanced design promotes both stability and flexibility
  • Locked-in feel for increased confidence

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Dedicate 8 GS trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from synthetic leather, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or court residue. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Ensure you check the sizing guide for the specific UK size to guarantee the correct fit, as a proper fit is vital for the built-in stability features to function effectively.
