FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While comfortable, these are designed as tennis shoes with lateral support. For long-distance running, a dedicated running shoe is recommended.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the integrity of the adhesive and the cushioning materials. Hand cleaning is the only recommended method.
What surface are these shoes best for?
The GEL-Dedicate 9 GS is specifically designed for hard-court tennis surfaces.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to standard UK children's sizing. Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The design includes stability features that offer moderate arch support suitable for most children's activity levels.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly from the bottom up and consider using a runner's loop at the top eyelet for a more secure heel lock.
Outer material showing surface scuffs
Surface scuffs are normal for court shoes. Use a mild soap and a soft brush to gently clean affected areas, but avoid using abrasive scouring pads.
Traction loss on court
Check the outsole for compacted dust or clay. Use a stiff brush to clean out the grooves in the rubber tread to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, always ensure the laces are adjusted so the shoe feels snug around the midfoot without being constricting. For care, keep these shoes away from harsh chemicals. If they become dusty or dirty from court play, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the upper and a dry brush to remove debris from the outsole tread. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning materials and cause the upper adhesives to loosen.
