FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers are designed primarily for court sports like tennis and badminton. While they offer cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific demands of running and may not provide adequate support or shock absorption for long-distance running.
How do I clean the green and white material?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the exterior surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the Trusstic System technology?
The Trusstic System is a plastic component located in the midfoot section of the shoe that provides stability and prevents excessive twisting of the sole, enhancing torsional rigidity.
What is the main benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to overall comfort and reducing impact stress on the feet.
Can these trainers be used for other sports besides tennis?
Yes, their stability and flexible feel make them suitable for various court sports such as squash, badminton, and indoor volleyball where lateral movement and support are important.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
The longevity of cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. EVA cushioning will naturally compress over time with regular use. For optimal performance, consider replacing them after a significant period of play.
Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?
This specific product is the ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 in Green and White, UK size 9.5 for women. ASICS offers various models, colors, and sizes, so you may find other options within the Gel-Dedicate line or other ASICS court shoe series.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe needs a short break-in period.
Slipping inside the shoe
Check sock thickness and material. Ensure laces are tied securely to provide a snug fit.
Reduced cushioning over time
EVA cushioning may naturally compress with use. For prolonged performance, consider replacement after significant wear.
Sole feels stiff during play
The Trusstic System provides stability; the shoe may require a short break-in period for the sole to become more flexible with use.

To care for your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 trainers, it is recommended to clean them regularly. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and midsole.
