FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized court trainers. They lack the heel-to-toe transition and cushioning required for running and may lead to discomfort if used for that purpose.
Can I use these for padel?
Yes, the Gel-Challenger 15 series is highly effective for padel as the traction and stability features align well with the demands of the sport.
How do I determine the right size?
ASICS court shoes generally follow standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your typical athletic shoe size, ensuring there is a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you prefer to use custom orthotics for additional arch support.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Depending on the frequency of play, you should inspect the outsole for wear patterns. If the grip becomes smooth or the cushioning feels collapsed, it is time for a replacement to avoid injury.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability or heel slippage
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically around the eyelets nearest to the ankle to lock the heel in place.
Accumulated court dust reducing traction
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or a dedicated court shoe cleaner to restore grip.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, make sure to lace the trainers firmly to lock your heel into the counter for maximum stability. These shoes are compatible with most standard court surfaces, including clay, hard, and padel courts. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the outsole after every use. If the inner lining gets damp from perspiration, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
