FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay tennis courts?
While the sole is optimized for padel, the traction pattern may perform differently on clay. It is recommended primarily for padel court surfaces.
How should I choose the right size?
ASICS generally follow standard sizing; however, since these are leather, they provide a structured fit that doesn't stretch as much as knit materials. Select your normal athletic shoe size.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable leather and synthetic leather overlays for added support and longevity.
How often should I replace these sneakers?
For regular players, it is recommended to replace the shoes every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency of play and visible wear on the outsole and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing system to be looser at the lower eyelets to allow for more volume.
Accumulation of court dust in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled nylon brush to scrub the outsole after playing to maintain traction.
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a matching leather conditioner or cleaner to polish and buff the synthetic leather overlays.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short sessions initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and court debris after every session using a dry brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for deeper cleaning; do not submerge in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Compatibility: These are specialized trainers designed for padel courts; avoid using them on abrasive surfaces like concrete to prolong outsole life.
