FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor tennis?
Yes, the Gel-Dedicate 8 is built with a durable outsole suitable for various court surfaces.
How do I determine my correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adult males. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the ASICS official size guide.
Can I use these for marathon running?
No, these are specialized court trainers. They lack the heel-to-toe drop and specific cushioning geometry required for long-distance road running.
How do I maintain the synthetic leather?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleaches.
What is the benefit of the TRUSSTIC system?
It acts as a support bridge in the arch of the shoe, preventing the foot from twisting during rapid side-to-side motions.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the sockliner is typically removable, which is helpful if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slippage inside the shoe
Adjust your lacing technique to 'runner's loop' or 'lock-down' lacing to secure the heel and midfoot more firmly.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber cloth after indoor play to restore traction lost to court dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing carefully as these are designed for an adult male fit. When lacing, ensure a snug but comfortable tension across the midfoot to leverage the locked-in design of the upper. For care, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after each use. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid using a tumble dryer or direct heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the EVA foam and damage the synthetic leather.
