Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness during the first use
The synthetic leather requires a brief break-in period. Try wearing them for short sessions or light warm-ups before your full match.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole affecting traction
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a slightly damp cloth to restore the grip needed for the padel court surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 stays in peak condition, perform a quick check of the laces and interior padding before each match to ensure a secure fit. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, gently wipe the synthetic leather exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and court debris. If the shoes become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking or warping. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to enhance the moisture-wicking properties of the inner lining.
