FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-dedicate 9 series is designed as a unisex performance shoe suitable for both men and women.
Can I use these for tennis?
While similar, these are specifically engineered for padel court requirements, though many players find them sufficient for clay or hard-court tennis as well.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and a damp cloth for deeper stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents.
Do these provide arch support?
They offer neutral, stable support suitable for most foot types. If you have specific medical needs, they are compatible with aftermarket orthotic insoles.
Are they true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing, but since they offer a 'locked-in' performance fit, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on frequency of play, it is recommended to replace them every 6 to 12 months when the outsole tread loses depth or the midsole cushioning flattens.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser at the lower eyelets while maintaining tension at the top to secure the heel.
Accumulation of court dust in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the grooves to regain optimal grip.
Sensation of heel slippage
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock your heel into the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-dedicate 9 shoes last, avoid using them for off-court activities like running on asphalt, as this will prematurely wear down the specialized tread.
- Breaking In: Wear them for short practice sessions before taking them to a competitive match to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the outsoles with a dry brush after every match to remove court dust. If the upper gets dirty, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; never machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Keep them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the cushioning foam.
