FAQs
Is the Gel-Dedicate 8 suitable for running?
These shoes are designed primarily for court sports and lateral stability; they are not optimized for long-distance linear running.
How do I ensure the right fit?
ASICS trainers typically run true to size. We recommend measuring your feet while wearing the socks you plan to use for sport to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal sockliner can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The synthetic leather provides moderate protection against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on the frequency of use, it is generally recommended to replace court shoes every 6-12 months to maintain proper cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
The synthetic leather requires a short break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions for a few days to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 remains in top condition, follow these simple care instructions. Because the exterior features synthetic leather, avoid machine washing the shoes, as this can degrade the bonding agents and leather integrity. Instead, clean the surface using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the material to crack or warp. For the interior, remove the laces and the sockliner periodically to allow the footbed to air out thoroughly, preventing odor build-up.
