FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for tennis-specific movements like lateral shuffles and quick stops. They lack the flexibility and specialized sole patterns required for long-distance running.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features durable synthetic leather overlays designed to provide structural support during court play.

How should I clean my Gel-Dedicate 9 shoes?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Do not put them in a washing machine, as the agitation and heat can damage the cushioning technology and adhesives.

Does this shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the TRUSSTIC technology provides significant midfoot stability and arch support, which is beneficial for preventing fatigue during long matches.

Can I use these on clay courts?

While the full-length outsole provides excellent traction on hard courts, please check for specific 'Clay' variants if you play exclusively on loose clay surfaces to ensure the tread pattern is appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of stiffness in the arch area

Allow for a break-in period of 3-5 sessions, as the synthetic leather and supportive TRUSSTIC shank need time to contour to your foot.

Accumulated dirt on the outsole reducing traction

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris from the grooves of the outsole to restore the contact surface area.

Heel slippage during play

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method using the additional top eyelet to secure the ankle more firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent lateral stability for court movements
  • High level of impact cushioning via GEL technology
  • Durable construction with reinforced synthetic leather
  • Provides a secure and planted feel during quick stops

Cons

  • Not suitable for long-distance running
  • Synthetic leather may feel stiffer than mesh alternatives
  • Design optimized for hard court use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by confirming the correct UK size, as the leather construction has limited stretch compared to knit shoes. When lacing, use the top eyelets for a lockdown fit to prevent heel slippage. For care, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove court dust. Always allow the trainers to air dry at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
