FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
No, the Express Light 3 HB is designed with a herringbone tread specifically for clay courts and will perform poorly on hard surfaces.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, these are categorized as lightweight performance shoes designed to minimize foot fatigue.
How do I clean the RPU cage?
Wipe the RPU cage with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the material's integrity and appearance.
What is the purpose of the DuraWrap Flex?
It provides a durable protective layer that resists wear during high-intensity play while maintaining necessary flexibility.
Do I need to replace the sock liner?
The die-cut foam sock liner is durable, but if you require custom orthotics, it can be removed and replaced.
Troubleshooting
Excessive clay buildup in outsole grooves
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried clay from the herringbone pattern after every match.
Feeling of slipping on hard courts
Ensure you are using these shoes only on clay courts; the HB sole is not designed for hard court surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that your playing environment is primarily clay or artificial clay, as the deep tread pattern is specifically calibrated for these surfaces. For initial setup, ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the midfoot while allowing for natural toe movement. To care for your K-SWISS shoes, wipe the outsole after each match to remove clay buildup from the herringbone grooves. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and the cushioning foam.
