FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school gym class?
While designed for tennis, the GEL-DEDICATE 8 is suitable for general gym activities due to its supportive nature and non-marking outsole.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a half-inch or a thumb's width of space between your toes and the end of the shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the cushioning materials and adhesives. Use a damp cloth to clean instead.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the shoe includes built-in structural support that helps maintain stability and comfort during lateral tennis movements.
How long should they last?
Longevity depends on frequency of play; however, the durable construction is designed to withstand frequent use on abrasive court surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Ensure the laces are tightened properly, focusing on the eyelets near the ankle for a secure lockdown.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the bottom of the shoes to remove accumulated dust or debris that can interfere with court grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics GEL-DEDICATE 8 shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a thumb-width space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for proper growth room.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to ensure a snug fit that supports the midfoot without restricting circulation.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and debris after each use with a dry brush. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Surface Compatibility: These are best used on standard tennis courts (hard courts or clay) to ensure the outsole maintains its grip.
