FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
While you can, the herringbone tread is optimized for clay and may wear down much faster on abrasive hard court surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for grass courts?
These are designed specifically for clay; grass court footwear typically requires specialized dimpled outsoles to prevent slipping.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap, then let them air dry.
What is the benefit of the Aösta 7.0 rubber?
It is a high-density compound that provides better resistance to the wear and tear commonly caused by clay court friction.
Is the RPU cage removable?
No, the RPU cage is molded directly into the upper for structural support and drag protection.
Troubleshooting
Excessive clay accumulation in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the herringbone grooves after each match to maintain optimal grip.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the eyelets and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top for a more secure heel lock.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, utilizing the padded collar to secure your foot before tightening the laces. These shoes are explicitly designed for clay court use; wearing them on concrete or asphalt courts may lead to premature wear of the Aösta 7.0 rubber. To maintain your shoes, brush off excess clay after every match to prevent the material from hardening in the mesh upper. If necessary, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the molded RPU components.
