FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
The Ultrashot 4 features an outsole (Aosta 7.0) specifically designed for superior grip and traction on clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, their optimal performance characteristics are most evident on clay.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size guide and measure your foot carefully. The Ultrashot 4 is designed for a performance fit. Consider your preferred lacing method for a secure feel during lateral movements.
What makes the Surge 7.0 midsole special?
Surge 7.0 is engineered to provide significant energy return with every step. This technology helps propel you forward, enhancing your speed and agility during play.
What is the purpose of the graphite winglet?
The custom graphite winglet is integrated into the shoe's design to enhance stability, particularly during lateral movements. It helps support the foot during quick changes of direction.
How long does the Aosta 7.0 outsole typically last on clay courts?
The Aosta 7.0 outsole is known for its durability on clay. Lifespan varies based on playing frequency, intensity, and court conditions, but it is designed for extended performance.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Cleaning with a damp cloth and brushing off dirt is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
Are these shoes heavy?
The Ultrashot 4 is engineered for a balance of performance features like stability and cushioning, with a focus on responsiveness. Specific weight can be found in detailed product specifications, but they are designed for agility.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For clay courts, the unique tread pattern relies on being relatively clear of packed dirt.
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
These shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase playing time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Midsole feels less responsive over time
While designed for durability, prolonged high-intensity use will eventually impact midsole responsiveness. Consistent cleaning and proper drying can help maintain performance longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are athletic shoes, and as such, require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: The Ultrashot 4 is primarily designed and optimized for use on clay courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their superior grip and traction characteristics are most pronounced on clay.
Care:
