FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed as court-specific trainers for padel and tennis. They lack the flexibility and sole geometry required for efficient distance running.
Can I use these for other indoor sports?
While excellent for padel, they are suitable for various indoor court sports like squash or badminton due to their emphasis on lateral stability.
How should I clean the pink upper material?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and a clean, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent for specific stains. Avoid abrasive sponges.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, they are designed to fit consistently with standard ASICS sizing, though they are engineered for a snug performance fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the break-in period.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider adjusting the lacing tightness to reduce pressure points on the top of the foot.
Slipping on the court surface.
Check the outsole for dust or sand buildup; wipe the soles with a damp towel to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-dedicate 9 Trainers provide maximum performance, start by ensuring a secure lacing configuration that matches your arch height. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal volume is generally accommodating, but always test them during a light practice session first.
Care Instructions:
- Remove surface dirt after every use using a soft brush.
- If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Do not machine wash the trainers; use mild soap and a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
- Replace your trainers if you notice the mid-sole cushioning compressing significantly or if the outsole traction pattern wears smooth.
