Setting up your ASICS Gel-Dedicate 8 Clay sneakers involves ensuring the correct fit.
Try On: Wear the shoes with your preferred tennis socks. Walk around and perform light court movements to assess comfort and fit.
Verify Sizing: Always check the UK size on the box or label. Be aware that US/Euro sizes may also be listed and can differ, so confirm you have the intended UK size.
Lacing: Lace the shoes securely but comfortably, ensuring your foot is snug without being overly tight.
These sneakers are specifically designed and optimized for clay tennis courts. Their outsole pattern and material composition are engineered to provide maximum grip and durability on clay surfaces. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their performance characteristics (e.g., grip, durability) may not be optimal, and they might wear out faster on harder courts.
Proper care extends the life of your tennis shoes.
Cleaning: After use on clay, gently tap the shoes together to remove loose dirt and clay. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the outsole grooves. For the upper, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Info needed: Washing Machine: Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
