FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While they can be worn on hard courts, the outsole is specifically engineered for clay. Using them on abrasive hard surfaces may cause the tread to wear down faster.
How do I clean my Gel-Dedicate 9s?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If necessary, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a ventilated area away from direct heat.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The structure is designed for neutral stability and support, though individual players may choose to add their own orthotic inserts if more arch support is required.
Are these true to size?
The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 typically fits true to standard athletic sizing for women.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after an hour of play
Feet often swell during exercise; try adjusting the lacing pattern to be slightly looser across the midfoot to allow for expansion.
Loss of traction on the court
Check the outsole for compacted clay or debris in the grooves; clean with a brush to restore the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential. Always untie the laces fully before taking the shoes off to avoid damaging the heel counter. If the shoes become covered in clay, allow the dirt to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid placing these shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the cushioning properties of the GEL units. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
