FAQs
What type of court surface are these shoes best suited for?
The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 is designed for various court surfaces including hard courts, clay courts, and artificial grass, common in sports like tennis.
How does the GEL™ technology benefit my play?
The GEL™ technology is integrated to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during play, leading to greater comfort and endurance.
What does TRUSSTIC™ technology do?
TRUSSTIC™ technology enhances stability by controlling the torsional rigidity of the shoe, helping to prevent unwanted twisting during lateral movements.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear or running?
While comfortable, these shoes are specifically designed for court sports. For general everyday wear or dedicated running, other specialized footwear might be more appropriate.
How can I clean my Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. For interior spots, use a soft brush with mild soap and allow them to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Does the sockliner material have any special properties?
Yes, the sockliner uses a solution dye process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by around 45%, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
What is the main advantage of the wrap-up outsole?
The wrap-up outsole design improves stability by extending up the sides of the shoe, supporting quick pivots and agile movements on court.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Allow for a break-in period of a few hours of wear. Wearing them for short periods initially can help them mold to your feet.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade the GEL™ cushioning. Follow the recommended care instructions.
Slipping on court surfaces
Check that the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, consider if the court surface is suitable for the shoe's traction pattern.
