FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
The Gel-dedicate 9 is specifically optimized for clay and paddle surfaces; while they can be worn on hard courts, the tread is designed for better performance on softer, grippy surfaces.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are court-specific shoes. They lack the flexibility and cushioning required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the clay off the shoes?
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove dust and clay after every use. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Does this shoe come in other widths?
The Gel-dedicate 9 is designed with a standard width fit for men.
How long should I expect these to last?
Durability depends on frequency of play and court conditions, but regular cleaning and rotation will help maintain the support structure.
Troubleshooting
Sole losing traction on the court
Check the outsole for compacted clay or debris in the zigzag grooves and clean with a soft brush.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Check your lacing tension to ensure it isn't too tight across the midfoot, and verify the sock thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-dedicate 9 shoes, keep them away from excess moisture and store them in a cool, dry area. After play on clay courts, lightly brush off any accumulated dust or dirt from the outsole to maintain the integrity of the zigzag tread. For cleaning the upper, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GEL cushioning system. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness to maintain the intended snug fit and support.
