FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

The GEL technology is strategically placed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the foot and joints during high-impact movements like jumping and landing.

Are these shoes suitable for all types of sports?

These trainers are specifically designed for court sports like padel and tennis, offering the stability and grip needed for those activities. They are not recommended for general running or hiking.

How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 GS Trainers?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the insoles, remove them and clean with a mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

GS stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these shoes are designed for younger children.

How do the synthetic leather overlays help?

The synthetic leather overlays provide enhanced support and help to lock the foot in place, improving stability during quick directional changes and preventing excessive movement within the shoe.

Can these shoes be used in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, these trainers are best suited for dry court conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to wet surfaces as it can affect grip and material longevity.

What is the function of the Trusstic Support Unit?

The Trusstic Support Unit is a midfoot structural component that provides stability and helps control pronation, while still allowing for a more natural foot motion.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with athletic socks to gauge the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or model is more appropriate.

Reduced grip on court surfaces.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If significant wear is present, the shoes may need replacement.

Upper material feels stiff.

The synthetic leather overlays are designed for support and may feel firm initially. Wear them for short periods to allow them to break in gradually. Avoid excessive bending or flexing when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: Ideal for indoor court surfaces such as tennis courts and padel courts. They are designed for athletic use and may not be suitable for rough outdoor terrains or casual walking.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic leather and mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
