FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?

No, the HC designation indicates these are specifically optimized for hard court surfaces and will not provide the necessary traction on clay.

Do I need to size up for these trainers?

The shoes feature a performance-focused, snug fit. If you prefer a roomier toe box, you may want to consider this when selecting your standard size.

How often should I replace these tennis shoes?

For competitive players, it is recommended to replace them every 45-60 hours of play or when the tread pattern on the outsole becomes visibly worn down.

Can I use these for other sports like running?

While durable, these are specialized for tennis court movement. They lack the specific shock absorption needed for long-distance running.

What is the best way to clean the upper?

Use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth to spot clean the upper, ensuring you do not soak the material.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot securely and verify that you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Accumulation of hard-court dust in the tread

Gently use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and court grit from the outsole to restore maximum traction.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, make sure to select the correct UK size, as the performance fit is intended to be close to the foot for optimal lockdown. Before wearing them on court, break them in by walking in them for short periods to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after each match to remove court debris and dust.
  2. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; do not use heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
  3. Remove the insoles occasionally to let the interior breathe and prevent moisture buildup.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
