FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are designed with a Herringbone outsole specifically for clay courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, you may experience faster outsole wear and less ideal traction on hard courts.
How do I maintain the RPU cage?
Simply wipe the RPU cage with a damp cloth after play to remove dust and dirt, maintaining the integrity of the flexible support structure.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the die-cut foam sock liner can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
What is the purpose of the Herringbone tread?
The deep herringbone tread provides multidirectional grip and prevents clay from clogging the outsole, ensuring you maintain traction during slides.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific variant is engineered for the female foot profile.
How should I clean the exterior fabric?
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap with water to spot clean the upper. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on clay court
Clear debris and hardened clay from the deep herringbone tread grooves using a brush.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Adjust the lacing tension and ensure the tongue is centered; check that the size is appropriate for your foot shape.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Remove the die-cut sock liner and allow it to dry separately in an airy space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your K-SWISS trainers, keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Sizing: Ensure a snug fit; since these are UK 6.5, verify they allow for the necessary room for athletic socks.
- Cleaning: Remove excess clay from the herringbone grooves after each use using a soft brush to prevent the tread from losing its grip profile.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the foam lining and rubber bonding.
- Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup within the padding.
