FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
The GEL-Dedicate 9 GS is specifically engineered for hard courts. While they may provide some grip elsewhere, they perform best on the surfaces they were designed for.
How do I determine the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for comfort during active play.
Can the insoles be replaced?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to use orthotics if required by a medical professional.
How often should I replace these tennis shoes?
Depending on the frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole tread for wear and the midsole for loss of cushioning, usually every 6-12 months for active players.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials are breathable to keep feet cool, meaning they are not waterproof and should be kept dry to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Excessive dirt in the outsole tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the grooves to maintain traction.
Shoes feeling slippery on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or clay; wipe the bottoms with a slightly damp microfiber towel.
Odor buildup
Remove the insoles after play and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-Dedicate 9 GS trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt after use with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage the cushioning materials and glues.
- Compatibility: These trainers are intended for hard court use. Using them on abrasive surfaces beyond tennis courts may cause premature wear of the outsole tread.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
