FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be worn outdoors, they are specifically engineered for indoor court surfaces. Using them on abrasive outdoor terrain may cause premature wear to the rubber outsole.
Can I remove the EVA insole?
Yes, the insole is designed to be comfortable but can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
Why does the box show a different size than I ordered?
The box may display the US or Euro size conversion. Please trust the UK sizing provided at the time of purchase.
How do I clean the white stripes?
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the stripes, taking care not to get the surrounding suede wet.
Does the Torsion System provide arch support?
The Torsion System is primarily designed for midfoot stability and energy transfer, though it provides inherent structural support for the arch during movement.
Troubleshooting
Soles losing traction on indoor courts
Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can cause slipping.
Difficulty determining correct size
Always refer to the UK sizing standard provided on your order confirmation, as the box label may display international conversions.
Dirt buildup on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift dirt; avoid using water or soap as it can stain the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, verify the size by trying on the trainers thoroughly, as sizing labels may indicate US or Euro sizes that differ from the UK size listed on the packaging. To maintain the condition of the suede upper, use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the moulded EVA midsole. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from hardening or cracking.
