FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are specifically engineered for court sports like padel. While comfortable, they lack the specific heel-to-toe transition geometry required for efficient road or treadmill running.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Gel-Dedicate 9 follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural movement during play.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the internal insoles are typically removable if you require the use of custom orthotics.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL cushioning is strategically placed to absorb the energy from impact, which helps protect your joints and feet from the repetitive stress of jumping and quick court stops.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole for tread wear and the midsole for signs of compression every 6 to 12 months.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after an hour of play
Feet often swell during activity. Ensure you are wearing performance-oriented moisture-wicking socks and consider slightly loosening the laces after the warm-up.
Reduced traction on the court
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth to restore grip, and avoid wearing these shoes outside the court area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter periods or light practice sessions before competitive matches to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every use. If cleaning is necessary, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and material breakdown.
