FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 suitable for running?
No, these are specialized court trainers designed for lateral movement stability rather than forward-motion running.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Clean with a soft damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The synthetic leather provides some protection against moisture, but they are not waterproof.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the stock insole can be removed if you need to use custom orthotics.
Does the sizing run true?
Generally, yes. However, since they use leather materials, they offer a firm, supportive fit that may feel more structured than standard knit sneakers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet over the tightest area to relieve pressure.
Accumulation of dust/clay on the upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against the specific model variant, as leather-based construction offers less stretch than knit materials. To maintain the shoes, wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after every match to remove court dust and debris. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat drying, as these can compromise the adhesives and the integrity of the cushioning. If the interior becomes damp from perspiration, air dry them naturally at room temperature with the laces loosened.
