FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis as well as padel?
While specifically optimized for padel, the stability and grip features often translate well to hard-court tennis, though the outsole is specifically tuned for padel traction.
How do I determine if I have the right fit?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to ensure comfort during forward movement.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural adhesive; always clean by hand.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made from durable leather, which offers superior support and longevity compared to synthetic fabrics.
Do these shoes come with removable insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing technique to provide more room, or wear thinner technical socks to allow for leather expansion.
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for compacted dirt or sand; clean the treads with a soft brush to restore grip.
Leather feels stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods of light activity off-court to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks you intend to use on the court, as the Gel-Dedicate 8 fits snugly. To maintain the life of your trainers, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each session to remove dust and court debris from the leather. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive materials. Store in a cool, dry place to allow the interior to air out completely between uses.
