FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass tennis courts?
No, the Gel-Dedicate 8 is specifically designed with a sole pattern optimized for padel court surfaces.
How should I clean the synthetic leather upper?
Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
Does this shoe come in half sizes?
Yes, ASICS offers a range of sizing options. Please check the specific variant listing for availability, such as 9.5 or 5.5 UK.
Is the GEL technology replaceable?
No, the GEL cushioning is embedded into the midsole and is a permanent feature of the shoe's construction.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these shoes?
The standard sockliner is typically removable, which usually allows for the insertion of custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or clay stuck in the tread pattern
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge particles; do not use sharp metal objects that could damage the rubber.
Shoes feeling stiff out of the box
Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness and allow 2-3 sessions for the synthetic materials to soften.
Material scuffing on the toe
The synthetic leather overlays are designed to take this wear to protect the base of the shoe; wipe clean with a damp cloth to maintain the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 sneakers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short sessions initially to allow the synthetic leather to contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole after each match. Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Air dry the sneakers in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the material to crack.
- Surface Compatibility: These are built exclusively for padel court surfaces. Using them on abrasive asphalt or concrete will significantly accelerate outsole wear.
