FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional tennis players?
The Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers are designed for recreational to intermediate players. Professional players may require shoes with more advanced features and specialized support for high-level competition.
What is the Trusstic System technology?
The Trusstic System is a plastic component located in the midfoot sole that provides stability and prevents excessive twisting of the shoe during lateral movements.
How should I clean my ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
Do these trainers offer good cushioning?
Yes, they feature an EVA insole and midsole for cushioning, designed to absorb shock and provide comfort during play.
What kind of court surfaces are these trainers best for?
These trainers are generally suitable for various indoor court surfaces commonly used for tennis, badminton, and squash.
Can these shoes be used for running?
While they offer some cushioning, they are specifically designed for court sports and may not provide the optimal support or cushioning required for dedicated running activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and allow for a break-in period. If still too tight, consider trying a half-size larger.
Slight discomfort during lateral movements
Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for optimal support. The Trusstic System provides stability, but aggressive movements may require additional ankle support from the wearer.
Dirt and stains on the upper
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
