FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 good for running?
These shoes are designed for court sports involving lateral movement. For long-distance running, an ASICS dedicated running shoe would provide superior impact protection.
What material is used in the construction?
The shoe features a combination of synthetic materials and an EVA midsole, focusing on durability and structural support.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, making the shoe compatible with most custom orthotic inserts.
How do I clean the exterior of the shoes?
Use a soft brush and warm water with mild soap. Avoid submersion and allow them to air dry.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Trusstic System combined with the EVA midsole provides a firm, supportive base that offers moderate arch support suitable for most court athletes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are tightened firmly across the midfoot area to engage the Trusstic System support.
Internal slipping or discomfort
Check if the EVA insole is seated flatly; if it has moved, remove it, realign, and re-insert.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth before matches to restore the original grip level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks you intend to use during play, as these can alter the internal volume of the shoe. To maintain the integrity of the EVA components and the structural support, avoid machine washing your shoes. Instead, spot clean them with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or lose their supportive properties. Replace the shoes once the outsole tread pattern has significantly worn down to ensure you maintain optimal traction on court surfaces.
