FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the GEL-DEDICATE 9 is specifically designed for court sports and features lateral stability components that are not ideal for the forward-motion mechanics of running.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, making it easy to insert custom orthotics if required.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe gently and allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.
Do these trainers provide good ankle support?
They offer excellent structural support for lateral stability, which helps prevent rolling during court maneuvers.
Is the sizing true to size?
Yes, the Asics GEL-DEDICATE 9 generally fits true to size for standard adult feet, though the leather upper may feel snug initially.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; try wearing them for shorter durations initially or use thinner socks until the material softens.
Reduced traction on court
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth or a specialized court-shoe cleaning pad to restore grip.
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Re-lace the shoes to adjust the tension, or consider replacing the factory insole with an aftermarket orthotic that better matches your arch profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-DEDICATE 9 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since they feature leather uppers, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material integrity. Instead, wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For best performance, ensure you are wearing athletic socks with appropriate arch support to complement the shoe's internal structure. If you utilize custom orthotics, the factory insole is removable, allowing for a personalized fit. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
