FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
The Gel Dedicate 8 is specifically designed for clay courts. While it may provide some grip on other surfaces, it will perform best and last longest on clay.
How do I clean the outsole after a match?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dirt and clay once it has dried. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Does this shoe feature extra arch support?
Yes, the integrated TRUSSTIC system is designed to provide structural midfoot support to prevent the shoe from twisting during athletic movements.
Is this a unisex shoe?
Yes, the ASICS Gel Dedicate 8 is designed as a unisex model, suitable for adult players of any gender.
Can I use orthotic insoles with these?
The stock insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert personal orthotics if required for additional comfort or support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during quick turns
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to lock the midfoot, utilizing the eyelets for a customized heel fit.
Reduced traction on the court
Check the outsole for compacted clay or dirt buildup and clean with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Consider using thinner moisture-wicking athletic socks or re-lacing the shoe to distribute pressure more evenly across the bridge of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoe size matches your standard athletic footwear requirements. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning and adhesive materials. If the shoes become covered in clay, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris after each session. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the specialized midsole components. Air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight. Regularly check the outsole for heavy wear if playing on abrasive surfaces to ensure you maintain safe traction.
