Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Asics Gel-Dedicate 8 shoes, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes during light training sessions before playing a full-intensity match to allow the synthetic leather and EVA midsole to adapt to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are specifically designed for tennis courts; using them on abrasive outdoor concrete or for high-impact activities like heavy weightlifting may reduce the life of the outsole.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dust and court dirt after each use with a dry brush. If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the bonding agents and cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the synthetic materials from hardening or cracking.
