FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

While the GEL-CHALLENGER 15 CLAY can be worn on hard courts, its outsole is specifically designed for optimal grip and performance on clay. Using them extensively on hard courts may lead to faster outsole wear and altered traction.

How do I clean the clay off the shoes?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove excess clay from the outsole and upper. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.

What is WINGWALL technology?

WINGWALL technology is integrated into the lateral side of the shoe to enhance stability during aggressive side-to-side movements, helping to prevent ankle rolling.

How does GEL technology improve performance?

GEL technology in the rearfoot acts as a shock absorber, providing cushioning during landings and reducing impact on joints, which contributes to overall comfort during play.

What is the benefit of the AHARPLUS outsole?

AHARPLUS is a highly abrasion-resistant rubber compound used in the heel area. It significantly increases the shoe's durability, providing longer-lasting performance.

Can I use these for other sports?

These trainers are specifically designed for tennis, particularly on clay courts. While they offer good support, they may not be optimized for the specific demands of other sports.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the Ortholite sockliner is removable, allowing for custom orthotics to be used if needed.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on court

Clean the outsole to remove any clay or debris buildup. Ensure the court surface is dry.

Discomfort during initial wear

The shoe may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase playtime.

Feet feel warm or damp

Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The Ortholite sockliner helps manage moisture, but proper socks enhance this effect.

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and ankle. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width is needed.
