FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
While designed for general court use, their performance is best on hard surfaces; check the outsole pattern for specific clay court compatibility.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert personal orthotics if needed.
How do I know if I have the right fit?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe while standing.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on usage, it is generally recommended to replace court shoes every 450 to 500 miles or every 6-12 months for active players.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are designed for breathability, not waterproofing; avoid wearing them in wet outdoor conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of tightness in the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window' lacing technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for compacted court debris; wipe the sole with a slightly damp cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Dedicate 9 shoes, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot shape; the performance fit is intended to be snug.
- Cleaning: Wipe away court dust after every match with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials.
- Replacement: Inspect the tread pattern periodically. If the grip becomes smooth, the structural integrity of the outsole may be compromised, indicating it is time for a replacement.
