FAQs
What makes the GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS good for young athletes?
They are designed with features like GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC technology to provide stability and shock absorption, which are crucial for growing bodies during sports.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
These shoes are primarily designed for indoor court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces may cause premature wear to the outsole.
How do I ensure I select the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it with the ASICS sizing chart, paying attention to the UK child sizing. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC technology?
TRUSSTIC technology provides enhanced stability in the midfoot area, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and allowing for more confident directional changes.
Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth.
What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?
'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that this shoe model is designed for children in that age and size range.
Troubleshooting
Child complains of discomfort or poor fit.
Double-check the shoe size against the child's foot measurements. Ensure laces are properly tied to secure the foot without being too tight. The shoe might need a short break-in period.
Traction seems reduced on the court.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive dust or debris. For persistent issues, the outsole may be worn down and require replacement of the shoes.
Material appears to be scuffing quickly.
The synthetic leather overlays are designed to withstand court play; however, aggressive movements can cause cosmetic scuffing. Ensure proper court etiquette is followed.
