FAQs
Are these shoes strictly for padel?
While optimized for the movements used in padel, they provide the necessary stability and traction for other court sports like pickleball or tennis.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about 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 replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult athletic footwear sizing.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is recommended to replace them every 450-500 miles of use or when the midsole cushioning stops providing effective impact protection.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the midfoot eyelets and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet for a more secure heel lock.
Accumulation of court dust affecting traction
Wipe the outsoles down with a damp cloth after each play session to restore the grip properties of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 Padel shoes, begin by ensuring a proper lace adjustment that secures the midfoot without restricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard court surfaces. Regarding care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized materials and the GEL cushioning unit. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and court grit. If the shoes become damp, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the foam.
