FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
These trainers are primarily designed for hard courts, though they offer sufficient grip for general padel play.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the structure is designed to be a snug, performance fit.
How do I identify the right size?
Measure your feet while wearing your preferred sports socks, and compare them against the ASICS UK size chart for an accurate match.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace court shoes every 6-12 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of your matches.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The synthetic leather requires a brief break-in period. Wear them for short sessions indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
Loss of traction on the court
Check the tread for accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the outsoles with a slightly damp cloth to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel Dedicate 8 trainers, keep them away from direct heat sources, which can warp the synthetic leather and compromise the adhesive bonds. If the shoes become wet during play, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air-dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area. For general cleaning, wipe the synthetic leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents that could degrade the cushioning materials. Check the outsole regularly for debris, as stones or grit trapped in the tread can reduce traction.
