The ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Clay tennis shoes are engineered for male adult players seeking stability and cushioning on clay court surfaces. With advanced GEL and TRUSSTIC technologies, these shoes deliver reliable performance for quick movements and powerful strokes, though their specialized sole pattern means they are primarily optimized for clay and may offer less traction on other court types.
Exceptional Clay Court Grip: The specialized outsole ensures superior traction and slide control on clay.
Enhanced Stability: TRUSSTIC technology provides crucial midfoot support for agile play.
Superior Cushioning: GEL technology reduces impact, offering comfort during extended matches.
Increased Durability: Synthetic leather overlays protect high-wear areas, particularly the toe.
Supportive Design: Helps maintain foot integrity during dynamic court movements.
Court Surface Specificity: Optimized for clay courts; performance on hard or grass courts may be compromised.
Designed for Men: While technically usable by anyone whose foot fits, the design and sizing are tailored for male athletes.

Your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Clay shoes require no special setup. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred snugness, and they are ready for the court. We recommend wearing them for a short period off-court to allow them to break in slightly before intense play.
Court Type: These shoes are specifically designed and optimized for clay tennis courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their performance (traction, durability) may not be optimal.
Socks: Compatible with all standard athletic socks. For best performance and comfort, consider moisture-wicking tennis-specific socks.
User: Designed for adult male players, but can be worn by anyone who finds the fit suitable.
To extend the life and maintain the performance of your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Clay shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially on clay, gently tap the soles together to dislodge loose dirt and clay. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) for hard-to-reach areas on the outsole.
Surface Cleaning: For the synthetic leather and mesh upper, wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your tennis shoes, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials.
