FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Gel-Dedicate 8 generally offers a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, it is recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts to ensure a comfortable fit.
How do I clean the white and purple sections?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water for the white areas. For the purple accents, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during high-impact movements.
Can these trainers be used for running?
While lightweight, these trainers are designed for lateral movements and court stability. They are not optimized for the specific needs of running and may not provide adequate cushioning or support for long-distance running.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The durable rubber outsole is engineered for optimal traction and wear resistance on court surfaces, providing reliable grip and longevity for regular play.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
The lifespan varies based on frequency of use, playing style, and court conditions. With proper care and moderate use, they should provide reliable performance for a significant period.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip may also reduce on very dusty or wet courts. Consider if the shoe is the correct fit for the court surface.
Discomfort during play
Verify you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes with shorter sessions before extended play. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic performance.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology offers durable cushioning, but like all footwear, it will degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if cushioning feels significantly diminished after prolonged wear.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
