FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
The Gel-Dedicate 9 features a versatile outsole, but it is primarily engineered for hard court performance; for heavy clay play, ensure the tread remains clean.
Does this shoe come in wide widths?
The current model is designed with a standard fit; please refer to the size guide to ensure the UK 3 fits your specific foot shape.
Can I use these for other sports like running?
While comfortable, these are specifically designed for tennis-related lateral movements and lack the flexibility required for long-distance running.
How do I know if these are the right size for me?
Asics generally fit true to size. If you wear other Asics athletic shoes, your usual size is a good starting point.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock sockliners can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
This is normal for new trainers; try walking in them for a few days before playing high-intensity matches to allow the materials to break in.
Accumulated court dust on the outsole reducing traction
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to restore grip and ensure optimal contact with the court surface.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics Gel-Dedicate 9 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to prevent discomfort during play.
- Maintenance: Clean the leather upper using a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can deform the internal structure and degrade the cushioning components.
- Surface Compatibility: Designed specifically for tennis court surfaces to maximize the traction provided by the outsole pattern.
