FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

While the shoes can be worn on hard courts, they are specifically designed for clay courts. The tread pattern provides optimal grip on clay and may wear down faster on abrasive hard surfaces. For hard courts, consider a model designed for that surface.

How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?

Refer to the K-Swiss sizing chart available online. Generally, UK sizes correspond to specific foot measurements in centimeters or inches. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately.

What is the main advantage of the Aösta 7.0 outsole?

The Aösta 7.0 outsole features a deep herringbone tread pattern specifically engineered to provide superior grip and allow for controlled sliding on clay courts, preventing excessive slipping and enabling quick changes in direction.

How often should I clean my tennis shoes?

It's recommended to brush off loose dirt and clay after each use. A more thorough cleaning with a damp cloth can be done periodically, depending on playing conditions and frequency.

What does 'lightweight' mean in terms of shoe weight?

Lightweight construction refers to materials and design choices made to minimize the overall weight of the shoe. This helps reduce foot fatigue during play, allowing for quicker movements and improved agility on the court.

Can I replace the foam insole?

Yes, the foam insole is typically removable, allowing you to replace it with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired for personalized comfort or support.

Troubleshooting

Traction seems reduced on clay.

Ensure the herringbone tread is clear of packed clay. Use a soft brush to remove debris from the sole pattern.

Feet feel uncomfortable after a few games.

Verify you have the correct size and width. Consider using the included foam insole or a compatible aftermarket insole for additional cushioning.

Upper material shows signs of wear.

Clean the DuraWrap Flex upper regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grit that can cause abrasion. Avoid excessive rubbing against abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Primarily designed for clay tennis courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their specialized tread is optimized for clay and may wear faster on harder courts.

Care Instructions:
