FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis?
While designed specifically for padel, the traction and stability profiles are similar to many court sports, though they are optimized for padel court surfaces.
How should I clean the leather exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Never submerge in water.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The shoe provides a stable platform with a neutral arch profile suitable for most foot types.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather construction provides some protection against surface moisture, but these are not waterproof performance shoes.
How often should I replace my padel shoes?
Depending on frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole for tread wear and the internal cushioning for loss of support every 6-12 months.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during initial wear
The leather uppers require a break-in period. Try wearing them for short sessions at home before playing a full match.
Reduced traction on court
Check the outsole for debris or dust buildup; wipe the soles with a clean, damp cloth to restore grip.
Laces coming undone during play
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are pulled tight across the midfoot to secure the lockdown fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure you have the correct UK sizing for your foot shape, as court shoes are designed for a locked-in fit. To maintain the life of your trainers, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the leather surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove the insoles after heavy sessions to allow moisture to evaporate from the interior. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the synthetic leather over time.
