FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Gel-Dedicate 8 is engineered specifically for the lateral movements required in tennis. For running, choose a dedicated ASICS running shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the EVA insole can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What surfaces are these shoes designed for?
They are designed to provide optimal traction on standard hard-court tennis surfaces.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, with a secure feel in the heel.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials are breathable to assist with moisture management, but they are not waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the midfoot area
Adjust the lacing tension; try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel while loosening the midfoot pressure.
Slipping on the court surface
Ensure the outsole treads are clear of debris; dust and dirt buildup can significantly reduce grip on hard courts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to size; ensure a snug fit around the midfoot with enough room in the toe box to prevent blisters.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt from the outsole after each match. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the EVA foam and structural adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
