FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts due to their outsole pattern for optimal grip. While they can be worn on hard courts, the Adiwear outsole may wear down faster, and the grip characteristics might differ.
What is the main benefit of the Bounce midsole?
The Bounce midsole provides responsive cushioning, which means it absorbs impact and returns energy, making your movements feel more dynamic and comfortable during play.
How durable is the Adiwear outsole?
The Adiwear outsole is a high-abrasion rubber compound designed for durability, especially on surfaces like clay where consistent grip and longevity are crucial.
Does the Torsion System impact flexibility?
The Torsion System provides midfoot support for stability during lateral movements. It is designed to work with the shoe's natural flex, offering support without overly restricting movement.
What does 'Contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This means that a significant portion of the shoe's materials, by weight, are made from recycled sources, contributing to a reduction in waste and environmental impact.
How should I clean mud off these shoes after playing on clay?
Allow the mud to dry slightly, then gently brush off the excess with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and air dry. Avoid using excessive water or harsh cleaning agents.
What size am I if I wear a UK 11?
This guide entry is specifically for the UK 11 size. Please refer to standard sizing charts if you need to convert from US or EU sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight on first wear.
This is normal for performance tennis shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to allow the materials to mold to your foot. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Reduced grip on clay court.
Clean any excess clay or debris from the Adiwear outsole. Ensure the court surface itself is not excessively wet or dusty.
Feet feel warm during play.
The breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. If the issue persists, consider playing in cooler conditions or taking breaks.
Midfoot discomfort.
Verify the lace tension is correct – not too tight, not too loose. The Torsion System provides support; allow a brief adjustment period if you are not used to this type of structured support.
