FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis?
While the Gel-Resolution X features advanced cushioning and stability, its sole is specifically designed for the unique demands and surfaces of padel courts. For dedicated tennis play, ASICS offers models tailored to tennis court surfaces.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but most users find the shoes comfortable after 2-4 playing sessions. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Can I wash these sneakers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Clean them with a damp cloth or by hand washing specific parts if necessary.
What makes the sole padel-specific?
The padel-specific sole features a pattern designed to provide optimal grip and durability on synthetic padel court surfaces, allowing for quick movements and stability during play.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. These are UK men's sizes. A snug fit is generally recommended for performance footwear, but ensure there is enough room for toe movement.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that absorbs shock during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on your joints during play.
How should I store my padel sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensuring they are clean and dry before storage will help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court
Ensure the padel-specific sole is clean and free from debris. The shoe is designed for synthetic padel courts; performance may vary on different surfaces.
Discomfort during first few wears
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase playing time.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
GEL technology can degrade with heavy use. Consider replacing shoes after significant wear, typically after 6-12 months of regular play, depending on intensity.
Waterlogging on wet courts
These shoes are not waterproof. Avoid playing on very wet surfaces to prevent waterlogging and damage to the materials.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris after each use. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.

- Laundering: Do not machine wash. Hand wash only if absolutely necessary, and ensure all soap residue is removed.
