How do I clean the shoes?

Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the upper. Brush off any clay or debris from the outsole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or placing them in a washing machine.

What is the lifespan of the shoes?

The lifespan depends on the frequency of use and the intensity of play. Regular use on clay courts may last several months to a year.

Do these shoes come with a warranty?

adidas products typically have a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check with the retailer for specific warranty details.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Wear tennis-specific socks that provide cushioning and support. Consider the temperature and the level of breathability.

How should I store these shoes?

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid storing them in damp environments.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the insole can be replaced with an orthotic or a more comfortable insole if desired.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Consider loosening the laces or trying a larger size. Allow time to break in the shoes.

Poor grip on the court.

Make sure you are playing on a clay court. Check for excessive wear on the outsole; if worn, it may be time for a new pair. Clean the outsole of any debris.

Heel slippage.

Ensure the laces are tied correctly and that the Geofit collar is snug around your ankle. Consider using thicker socks if necessary.

Uncomfortable mesh upper.

Allow the mesh upper to adjust to the foot, which might need a short break-in period. Ensure the socks you wear provide adequate comfort and support.
