FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed specifically for court sports. Using them for long-distance running may cause premature wear and lacks the necessary support for forward-motion impact.
Can I use these for padel?
Yes, the Gel-dedicate 9 is excellent for padel, offering the lateral support required for the sport's quick movements.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while wearing your athletic socks.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace court shoes every 450 to 500 miles of activity, or sooner if the outsole tread becomes noticeably worn down.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the GEL cushioning system. Clean by hand with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the heel more effectively.
Material feels stiff after initial wear
Wear the shoes for short sessions around the house to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Visible dirt accumulation on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove grime from the mesh areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-dedicate 9 trainers perform optimally, start by ensuring you have the correct size for your foot width; the unisex design accommodates a standard adult fit. Lace the shoes snugly, focusing on a secure heel lock to prevent sliding. To clean the shoes, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural adhesives. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after use. If the mesh upper becomes stained, use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the area, then air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated location away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening.
