FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor hard courts?

The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 features a padel court outsole optimized for specific court surfaces. While they offer good traction, their durability on abrasive outdoor hard courts may be less than shoes specifically designed for that surface.

How do I clean the synthetic leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the synthetic leather. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC technology?

The TRUSSTIC technology is a support unit in the midfoot that enhances stability. It helps prevent excessive twisting of the shoe, providing a more secure base during dynamic movements and changes in direction.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand clean using a damp cloth as described in the care instructions.

What does the 'insole dye solution' refer to?

This refers to a manufacturing process where the insole is dyed using a solution that reduces water consumption by 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The Gel-Dedicate 8 offers a standard fit. While some users may find them accommodating, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider models known for wider fits if needed.

Troubleshooting

Slipping on the court

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Check that the shoes are adequately tightened with the laces. The outsole is designed for court surfaces; performance may vary on other grounds.

Discomfort during play

Verify you have the correct size and fit. The shoes may require a short break-in period. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic wear to prevent friction.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL cushioning is durable, significant wear can occur with extensive use. Ensure you are using the shoes only for their intended sport to prolong cushioning effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stability for dynamic court movements.
  • Superior shock absorption thanks to GEL cushioning.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Lightweight build enhances agility.
  • Environmentally conscious insole manufacturing process.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for court surfaces; less suitable for general casual wear.
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific to tennis/padel court use, limiting versatility for other sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for tennis and padel courts. Their outsole is optimized for the specific grip and durability required on these surfaces. They are not recommended for use on abrasive surfaces like asphalt or for general running.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  2. Insoles: If insoles become soiled, they can often be removed and gently cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and condition.
