Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are designed for court sports involving lateral movement. They lack the heel-to-toe transition profile required for efficient forward running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during intense play.
Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?
Yes, the provided sockliner is removable to accommodate most aftermarket orthotic inserts.
How often should I replace these trainers?
For active players, it is recommended to replace them every 6-8 months, or sooner if the tread pattern on the outsole has worn smooth.
Are these waterproof?
The materials are breathable and not waterproof. They should not be worn in rainy conditions or standing water.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during initial wear
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the size is correct, utilize the extra eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place and reduce shifting.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole reducing grip
Wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth before stepping onto the court to restore the tackiness of the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Challenger 15 trainers maintain their performance, follow these care steps:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short sessions initially to allow the supportive materials to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt from the outsole after each match using a soft brush. If the upper gets dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the adhesive and structural foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the cushioning materials.
