FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for court sports and lateral movement; they lack the specific rocker geometry and cushioning profile required for consistent long-distance running.
How do I clean the white upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
Do I need to break these in?
While comfortable initially, the materials may soften and adapt to your foot shape after 2-3 hours of active court play.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the GEL DEDICATE 9 is often marketed for both men and women, ensuring a wide range of sizing options for all court players.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles in these trainers are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
What is the best surface for these trainers?
These shoes excel on hard courts, providing the necessary traction and stability for high-speed play.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, skipping a pair of eyelets where pressure feels highest.
Reduced grip on the court surface
Check the outsole for trapped dust or debris and wipe clean with a damp cloth; ensure the court surface itself is clean.
Heel slipping during movement
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique for a more secure fit.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you are wearing the performance socks you typically use for matches when trying on the trainers for the first time. The shoes are designed to provide a secure fit out of the box, but light lacing adjustments can improve lockdown. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove court dust. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning foam.
