Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Trainers are designed for active women seeking a reliable blend of comfort, stability, and durability for daily training and court activities. The standout feature is the signature GEL technology integrated into the heel, which provides exceptional shock absorption to reduce joint impact during movement. While these trainers offer robust construction, users should note they are primarily engineered for court-based support, which may feel slightly more rigid than pure running-focused footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor tennis?
Yes, the durable outsole is designed to provide traction on a variety of court surfaces, including outdoor hard courts.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily court trainers; while they provide support, they are not designed with the specialized rocker-sole or flexibility required for long-distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
These are UK-sized; it is recommended to ensure you have a small thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Does the shoe feature arch support?
The design includes a supportive construction that assists in maintaining foot stability during lateral motion.
Is the material waterproof?
The synthetic upper is designed for durability and support, but it is not marketed as waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened using a heel-lock lacing technique to increase mid-foot stability.
Accumulated dirt on the outsole affecting traction
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris trapped in the outsole treads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers last, keep them clean by wiping the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust and court debris. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the adhesive bonds and the cushioning properties of the GEL units. For optimal performance, store the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or discolour over time. Replace the laces if they show signs of fraying to maintain a secure and comfortable fit.
