FAQs
What type of sports are these trainers best for?
These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as tennis, badminton, and squash, offering stability and flexibility for lateral movements.
How do I clean my ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
What is the Trusstic System technology?
The Trusstic System technology is a supportive shank located in the midfoot that prevents twisting of the shoe during agile movements, enhancing stability.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer some cushioning, the Gel-Dedicate 8 are primarily designed for court sports with lateral movements. They are not optimized for the impact and gait of running.
How long will the cushioning last?
The EVA cushioning provides comfort and support. Longevity depends on frequency of use, intensity of play, and proper care. For intensive use, regular performance checks are recommended.
What is the main difference between these and higher-end ASICS court shoes?
Higher-end models often feature more advanced cushioning technologies (like GEL in specific zones), lighter materials, and specialized outsoles for different court surfaces or performance needs. The Gel-Dedicate 8 focuses on core stability and comfort for general training.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still tight, consider loosening the laces. For persistent tightness, break-in period might be needed, or consider if the size is correct.
Reduced grip on court surfaces
Check the outsole for debris or wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn, the shoes may need replacement for optimal traction.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Verify that the Trusstic System technology is providing adequate support for your foot type and playing style. Ensure the lacing is secure but not overly tight to allow for natural foot movement.
