Full details
The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 is designed for adult male players seeking a reliable combination of court stability and shock absorption during match play.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
While these shoes are designed for clay and paddle, using them on hard courts may lead to premature wear of the zigzag sole and potentially less than ideal traction.
How should I clean the shoes?
Wipe with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
Yes, the Gel-Dedicate 9 is designed with a stable base that provides consistent support for neutral foot types.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole tread for thinning and the GEL cushioning for loss of bounce; typically every 6-12 months for regular players.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the lacing system allows for some adjustment to accommodate various foot widths.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of breathable synthetic materials and are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Accumulation of clay in the sole pattern
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the residue from the zigzag grooves after every game to maintain traction.
Feeling of slipping on surface
Check that you are using the shoe on a compatible clay or paddle surface and ensure the tread is not clogged with debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 shoes, ensure you are wearing them specifically on clay or paddle courts to maintain the integrity of the zigzag outsole. For optimal fit, always wear performance athletic socks to manage moisture and prevent friction. To care for your shoes, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove clay dust or court debris. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the adhesives and foam cushioning. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
