FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor padel courts?
Yes, the Gel-Dedicate 8 is designed for the traction requirements of standard padel courts.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing for adults. Use your current athletic shoe size as a primary reference.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the sock liners (insoles) are removable if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.
Are these waterproof?
While the synthetic leather provides some protection against moisture, they are not classified as waterproof shoes.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on frequency of play, it is generally recommended to replace court trainers every 6-12 months to maintain cushioning integrity.
Troubleshooting
Sensation of slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets and consider using a thicker sports sock to fill internal volume.
Visible surface scuffs on synthetic leather
Gently buff the area with a damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution, but avoid abrasive brushes.
Uncomfortable pressure points during initial use
Wear the shoes for short periods during light activity to allow the synthetic leather upper to contour to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, ensure you select your correct size to utilize the supportive structure of the Gel-Dedicate 8. Since these shoes feature leather and synthetic overlays, avoid machine washing. For daily care, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after play to remove court dust. If the interior becomes damp from perspiration, remove the sock liner and allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or harden.
