FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis courts?
While the shoes offer good grip, they are specifically designed for padel courts. The HB profile sole pattern is optimized for padel's unique court surfaces and movements. Using them extensively on hard tennis courts may lead to faster wear on the sole.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not constricting. There should be a small amount of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The ankle area should feel secure without digging in.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesives, materials, and structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the main advantage of the DuraWrap Flex upper?
The DuraWrap Flex upper provides a balance of durability and flexibility. It protects the foot from abrasion and impacts common in padel while allowing for natural foot movement and quick pivots.
How does the foam insole contribute to comfort?
The foam insole provides cushioning that absorbs shock during play, offering a more comfortable experience and reducing impact on your feet and joints.
What does 'HB profile' refer to on the sole?
HB profile refers to the specific pattern and design of the sole, in this case, a deep herringbone pattern engineered for superior grip and durability on padel courts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Check that the laces are not overtightened.
Traction is not optimal on court
Verify the court surface is appropriate for the shoe's herringbone sole pattern. Ensure the sole is free from debris, dirt, or sand buildup. Clean the sole with a brush or damp cloth.
DuraWrap Flex material appears scuffed
Minor scuffs are normal wear and tear from protective material. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Significant tears or damage may indicate the shoe is nearing the end of its lifespan for intense play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Specifically designed for the demands of padel courts, offering optimal performance on artificial grass and sand surfaces. While they can be used for general training, their specialized sole pattern is best utilized on the intended court type.
Care:
- Cleaning: After play, remove excess dirt and sand with a dry brush. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents.
- 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.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
