All-court · wide sizes · Medium

Hard / all-court outsole · standard + true wide · medium weight class

Who it is for

Players who need a hard or all-court outsole in a medium shoe with a standard fit.

Why it works

ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 sits in the brand's essential tier with a durable all-court tread and a genuine wide size, not just a roomy standard.

Watch-outs

Check the width: a roomy standard fit is not the same as a true wide size. Weight and drop are not published for every colourway, so they are shown as not verified.

Trade-offs

  • Heavier than a pure speed shoe
