These shoes are specifically designed to handle the rigors of lateral movement and explosive court play, making them an excellent choice for tennis or padel enthusiasts.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specifically designed for lateral court movements and lack the flexibility and gait support required for distance running.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Gel-dedicate 9 models are engineered as unisex trainers to provide consistent support across different foot types.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Check your UK size against the product specifications provided; ensure there is approximately half an inch of space at the front of the toe box.
Can I use these on indoor wooden courts?
The outsoles are primarily optimized for hard courts; while they can be used indoors, ensure the court surface is compatible with non-marking court shoes.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on frequency of play, it is generally recommended to replace court shoes every 6 to 12 months to maintain proper cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the midfoot area and consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase heel lock.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or sand buildup; wipe down with a damp brush to restore contact with the court surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-dedicate 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Ensure you select the correct UK size for your foot profile to maximize the lockdown effect. After use on clay or dusty courts, wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to maintain grip. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and the GEL cushioning material. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
