Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay tennis courts?
While these are designed for padel, the traction profile is similar to many court shoes; however, they are optimized specifically for the lateral movements required in padel.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
ASICS performance shoes typically fit true to size. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How often should I replace these shoes?
For regular players, replace every 6-12 months, or sooner if the tread pattern on the outsole has worn smooth or the cushioning feels unresponsive.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials. Always clean by hand.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the toe box
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more room in the forefoot or verify the shoe size aligns with your foot measurement.
Reduced traction on the court
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any build-up of sand or dust which can cause slipping.
Pros and Cons

- GEL technology provides reliable impact protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for light walking before intense match play to allow the synthetic leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic leather uppers with a damp cloth after matches to remove dust and court grit. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers are intended for indoor and outdoor padel courts. Using them on inappropriate surfaces, such as high-traction gym floors or rough concrete, may result in uneven wear.
