FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While the Court Express 2 can be worn on hard courts, its outsole is specifically engineered for optimal traction and durability on clay. Performance and wear characteristics may differ on hard surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
What is the main advantage of the K-EVA Midsole?
The K-EVA Midsole provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption, contributing to greater comfort and improved durability of the shoe.
How often should I replace my tennis shoes?
This depends on frequency of use, playing style, and court surface. For developing players using the Court Express 2 regularly on clay, a replacement every 6-12 months is common, or when noticeable wear or loss of performance occurs.
Can these shoes be used for other sports?
These shoes are designed with specific tennis court features in mind. While they offer good support, they are best suited for tennis to ensure optimal performance and prevent premature wear.
What does 'drag guard' mean for durability?
The drag guard is an reinforced area on the outsole, typically in the toe and medial (inner) sides, designed to resist abrasion from the court surface, thus extending the shoe's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on court
Ensure the Aösta 7.0 rubber outsole is clean and free of excessive clay or debris. For persistent issues, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their expected lifespan for optimal grip.
Discomfort or pressure points
Verify you have the correct shoe size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure socks are appropriate for tennis play.
Material showing premature wear
Check if the drag guard is intact. Ensure you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (clay courts). Avoid excessive scuffing or dragging of the toes.
