FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of tennis courts?
Yes, the Adiwear outsole provides reliable traction on hard courts, clay courts, and artificial grass surfaces.
What does 'Bounce midsole' mean for performance?
The Bounce midsole offers responsive cushioning that absorbs impact and returns energy, helping you move more dynamically on court and reducing fatigue.
How durable is the toe area?
The Adituff toe protection is specifically designed to resist abrasion from toe dragging, a common issue in tennis, thus enhancing the shoe's durability in that high-wear zone.
Can I wear these for running or other sports?
These shoes are specifically designed for the lateral movements and support required in tennis. While they can be worn for general training, they are not optimized for the forward-dominant motion of running or the specific support needs of other sports.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to adidas's commitment to sustainability.
What is the 'Torsion System'?
The Torsion System provides support for your midfoot, allowing for smoother transitions between lateral and forward movements and enhancing overall stability during quick changes of direction.
How should I clean my tennis shoes?
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Traction feels insufficient on court
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris buildup. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure you are on an appropriate court surface for which the shoes are designed.
Toe area shows signs of premature wear
The Adituff toe protection is designed for abrasion resistance. However, if excessive dragging occurs, ensure your footwork is optimized to minimize toe friction where possible.
Feet feel overheated during play
The breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If overheating persists, consider moisture-wicking insoles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tennis shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a proper fit. Lace them up securely but comfortably, avoiding over-tightening, which can restrict circulation.
Compatibility: Optimized for tennis court surfaces (clay, hard courts, artificial grass). Their design focuses on the specific demands of tennis, including lateral support and abrasion resistance. While they can be worn for general athletic training, they are not recommended for sports with different movement patterns like basketball or trail running.
Care: To maintain the condition of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
