FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor padel courts?
Yes, the outsole is designed to provide excellent traction on the typical surfaces found at padel clubs, including outdoor courts.
How do I know if the size 12 fits correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Can I use these for tennis?
While similar in function, padel shoes have specific tread patterns optimized for the padel court; they may perform differently on traditional clay or hard-court tennis surfaces.
How long should these shoes last?
Longevity depends on frequency of play and court conditions, but the Gel-Dedicate series is built for durability under standard recreational usage.
Are these machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive used in the shoe; stick to hand-cleaning with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup and ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Discomfort during long matches
Check your lace tension; ensure the laces are not too tight over the bridge of the foot, which can cut off circulation.
Insole sliding or moving
Ensure the insole is seated correctly in the heel cup; if it persists, consider a custom orthotic insert that matches the shoe volume.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lateral support for quick directional changes
- High-impact shock absorption via ASICS Gel technology
- Durable materials built to withstand court friction
- Provides a stable, secure platform for confidence
Cons
- Optimized strictly for court sports, not ideal for running

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure you are wearing athletic-grade socks that match your thickness preference. When tying the laces, aim for a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting circulation.
Care Instructions:
- After play, remove the insoles to allow them to air out independently.
- Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove court dust and dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area; avoid direct heat sources like heaters or sunlight, which can warp the materials.
- Check the outsole regularly for debris stuck in the tread pattern to maintain optimal grip.
