FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor padel courts?
Yes, the outsole is specifically engineered to perform on padel surfaces.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are court-specific shoes designed for lateral movement rather than the repetitive forward motion of running.
How do I determine my size?
This model follows standard ASICS UK sizing. If you have worn ASICS court shoes before, choose your usual size.
Are the insoles removable?
The standard insoles are generally removable if you require custom orthotics.
How often should I replace them?
Depending on usage, it is recommended to replace them every 6-12 months for active players to maintain cushion and support integrity.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on the court
Check the outsole for compacted dirt or court grit and clean the surface with a brush.
Discomfort or pinching in the toe box
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and allow for a standard break-in period of 3-5 sessions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing through the ASICS adult fit scale; this model is available in various UK sizes. Since the upper is constructed with synthetic leather, avoid machine washing. Clean the exterior by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the outsole, use a stiff-bristled brush to remove any court debris or sand buildup to maintain traction. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could warp the synthetic materials.
