Product Information
Full details
The Asics Gel Dedicate 9 is designed for adult male court players seeking a balance of stability and comfort in a streamlined package. It utilizes signature shock-absorption technology to protect joints during intense movement, though users with very wide feet may find the narrow, performance-oriented fit requires a brief break-in period. By combining leather durability with advanced support features, these trainers provide a reliable foundation for regular court play.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gel Dedicate 9 is engineered specifically for court sports. It lacks the flexibility and cushioning profile required for long-distance road running.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.
Do these come in different widths?
The current model uses a standard athletic fit. If you have exceptionally wide feet, you may find the leather upper tight initially.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC component?
It is a rigid bridge under the arch that prevents the shoe from twisting unnecessarily, providing increased stability during lateral movements.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Check your lacing technique; try using the top eyelets for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel more effectively.
Discomfort or pinching during the first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short sessions at home to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Loss of traction on the court
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a clean, damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel Dedicate 9 trainers, it is recommended to wear them exclusively on intended court surfaces to prevent premature outsole wear. Since these are constructed with leather, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become damp inside, remove the liners and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the leather. Ensure you are using the correct UK size, as the performance fit is intended to hug the foot securely for stability.
