FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all court surfaces?
The Court Express 2 features an outsole with a herringbone pattern optimized for traction on clay courts. While they can be used on other surfaces, performance may differ, and durability could be affected on harder courts.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to standard UK men's shoe sizing charts. The product information indicates this specific model is UK size 8. It's recommended to try them on if possible or measure your foot length accurately.
What is the primary benefit of the K-EVA Midsole?
The K-EVA Midsole is designed to provide maximum cushioning and shock absorption, supporting your feet during impact and offering a comfortable, responsive feel throughout play.
How durable is the outsole?
The Aosta 7.0 rubber outsole is made for durability, and the inclusion of a drag guard in high-wear areas further enhances its lifespan, especially during aggressive play.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What is the 'Express platform' mentioned in the description?
The 'Express platform' refers to the foundational design and technology that K-SWISS has used in previous popular shoe models, indicating a proven and reliable base for the Court Express 2.
Is this shoe designed for professional play?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
The K-SWISS Court Express 2 have a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Reduced traction on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dirt or debris. If playing on surfaces other than clay, performance may vary. For clay courts, check if the herringbone pattern is worn down; if so, consider replacement.
Foot discomfort or rubbing
Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure your socks are suitable athletic socks. Adjust lacing to provide a more secure but not overly tight fit.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid saturating the material.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials. For the interior, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution if necessary.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause the materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
- Outsole Care: Check the outsole periodically for any debris lodged in the tread. The herringbone pattern can trap small particles, which should be removed to maintain optimal traction.
