FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically designed for court sports and lateral stability; they are not recommended for long-distance road running.
How do I determine the right size?
The GEL-DEDICATE 9 follows standard sizing conventions. Use your regular athletic shoe size as a reference.
Can I use these on clay courts?
While they provide great traction, the outsole is primarily designed for hard-court surfaces.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on usage frequency and intensity, you should monitor the midsole cushioning; if you feel reduced shock absorption, it is time for a replacement.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean. Avoid soaking the leather to prevent drying or stiffening.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for light activity or casual use before attempting high-intensity matches.
Accumulated dirt on outsole affecting traction
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and grit from the tread pattern to restore original grip levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these care steps:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter durations during your first few sessions to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and court debris with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water or use harsh chemical cleaners, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from degrading and the leather from cracking.
- Fit: These trainers should fit snugly but not constrict the midfoot. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during activity.
