FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be used on hard courts, the outsole pattern may wear down faster, and the traction may not be optimal compared to shoes designed for hard surfaces.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in the upper and other components.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow for about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Ensure the heel is snug and there's no excessive slipping. Refer to Adidas sizing charts for accurate measurements.
What is the 'Bounce' midsole technology?
Bounce is Adidas's cushioning technology that provides responsive comfort and energy return, helping to reduce fatigue during physical activity.
How often should I replace my tennis shoes?
For regular players, it's recommended to replace tennis shoes every 6-12 months, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole, reduced cushioning, or loss of support. Consistent use on clay may prolong outsole life compared to hard courts.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesives, materials, and structure of the shoe. Hand wash gently as per the care instructions.
What does the Torsion System do?
The Torsion System provides midfoot support, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently while maintaining stability. This enhances control during quick, dynamic movements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. Try lacing them looser in some areas and tighter in others to find a custom fit. Allow for a break-in period of a few hours of wear off-court or light practice.
Lack of grip on court
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and the shoes may need replacement, especially if used primarily on non-clay surfaces.
Feet feel hot and sweaty
The breathable mesh upper should provide good ventilation. Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.
Torsion system feels stiff
The Torsion System is designed for support and may feel firm initially. It should become more flexible with regular play and break-in time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These tennis shoes come ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced securely to achieve the optimal fit and support for your feet before stepping onto the court.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for clay tennis courts. While they may offer some traction on other surfaces like artificial grass, their optimal performance and grip are best experienced on clay.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any excess clay or dirt from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's shape.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
- Insoles: If removable, periodically take out the insoles to air them out and clean them separately if needed.
