These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts, featuring a deep herringbone tread for optimal grip on sand and clay. While they can be worn on hard courts, their performance and durability may be compromised compared to shoes designed for that surface.
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the width should allow your foot to rest comfortably without being squeezed. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can help ensure a good fit.
The Aösta 7.0 sole features a deep herringbone tread pattern that is specifically engineered to provide exceptional traction and grip on clay and sand courts, allowing for quick movements and stability.
It's recommended to brush off excess dirt and clay after each use. A more thorough cleaning with a damp cloth can be done as needed, typically after several play sessions or if the shoes become significantly soiled.
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Always clean them manually using a soft brush and a damp cloth.
A lightweight shoe means it has less mass, which can translate to quicker movements, reduced foot fatigue over longer periods, and enhanced agility on the court. It prioritizes speed and maneuverability.
Ensure the sole is free from caked-on dirt or clay, as this can impede tread effectiveness. Clean the sole with a brush. If the issue persists, the shoe may be worn out or unsuitable for the court surface.
The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more personalized fit.
The DuraWrap Flex upper is designed for abrasion resistance, but excessive dragging or scuffing can still cause wear. Focus on proper footwork to minimize unnecessary friction. Minor scuffs can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
While padded for comfort, these shoes are lightweight. For greater ankle support, consider lacing techniques that offer more lockdown or exploring models with higher ankle collars or stiffer heel counters.
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit.
