FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized court shoes. They are designed for lateral movement and lack the necessary heel-to-toe transition support required for running.
Can I use these on clay courts?
While the outsole is durable, look for specific 'Clay' variants of the Gel-Dedicate 9 series if you play exclusively on clay to ensure the best traction pattern.
How should I clean the white synthetic upper?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently spot-clean the upper. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Do these shoes run narrow or wide?
They feature a standard athletic fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to consult our sizing guide or try a half-size up.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are securely tightened across the midfoot to engage the lateral support features.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole affecting grip
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp towel before and after play to restore traction.
Discomfort or pinching during the first wear
Wear the shoes for shorter durations during initial practice sessions to allow the upper to conform to the shape of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the performance socks you typically use for court sports when trying on the trainers. These shoes are true-to-size for the standard UK adult fit. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. Instead, wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove court dust. If the soles become caked with clay or debris, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the tread. Allow your shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
