FAQs
Can I use these for running?
No, these are court-specific shoes designed for lateral movement. They do not offer the forward-propulsion features required for running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof; the upper material is designed for breathability. Playing in wet conditions may result in moisture penetration.
How do I know if the fit is right?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for movement.
Are these suitable for hard indoor tennis courts?
These are optimized for clay and paddle. While usable, the outsole pattern works best on loose surfaces.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on frequency of play, it is generally recommended to replace them once the tread on the outsole starts to wear down significantly.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during play
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to lock the heel in place and check that the shoe size is appropriate for your foot.
Accumulation of clay in the sole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove trapped dirt from the zigzag patterns after every match to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 shoes, follow these maintenance tips:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized for adult male feet. Ensure you have the correct UK size before use to prevent blisters.
- Surface Compatibility: These are specifically designed for clay and paddle courts. Avoid using them on asphalt or concrete to prevent premature wear of the specialized outsole.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after each session by lightly brushing the outsole. If the uppers get dirty, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge in water or place in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the cushioning materials and glues.
