The ASICS GEL-Dedicate 9 GS is a dedicated tennis trainer designed for active children who need reliable stability and comfort on the court.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
These are designed for hard courts. While they may provide some traction on clay, their performance and durability will be superior on hard surfaces.
Can these be used for running?
While they are comfortable, they are designed for lateral tennis movements. They are not recommended for long-distance running or jogging.
How do I know the correct size?
The UK sizing follows standard junior athletic sizing. Use a Brannock device or trace the foot on paper to measure length accurately.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal sockliner is typically removable to allow for medical orthotics if needed.
How often should I replace these tennis shoes?
For active junior players, it is recommended to replace them every 6-8 months, or sooner if the outsole tread becomes smooth or the cushioning loses its rebound.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during matches
Use a double knot technique and ensure the laces are threaded tightly through every eyelet to distribute tension evenly.
Accumulation of hard court debris in the sole
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the grooves of the outsole after matches to maintain grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-Dedicate 9 GS remain in top condition, follow these steps:
- Sizing: These are true-to-size trainers. Ensure there is a thumb-width of space at the toe for proper development.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for a few light walks before intense court sessions to allow the materials to soften.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth after every use to remove court dust.
- Storage: Do not leave shoes in high-heat areas like cars, as this can degrade the specialized GEL midsole compound.
- Drying: If wet, air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using hair dryers, which can warp the materials.
