FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school gym class?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically optimized for tennis court surfaces; gym floor performance may vary.
Can these be used on clay courts?
These are designed for hard courts. Use on clay may lead to excessive slipping as the tread pattern is not configured for clay court surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
The model follows standard UK children's sizing; ensure about a thumb's width of space at the front for proper growth.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner can be removed for cleaning or to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to clean the pink upper material?
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean the upper material.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated court dust and debris.
Fastening system feels loose
Check the mechanism for trapped dirt or debris and ensure the strap is fully pressed into its locking position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the ASICS GEL-Dedicate 9 GS, maintain a routine cleaning schedule. After use on dusty hard courts, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove grit that can affect traction. Avoid machine washing, as the high-heat cycle and detergents can break down the adhesives and the GEL cushioning. For drying, remove the inner sockliner and let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the shoes become wet inside, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture while maintaining their shape.
