FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their optimal grip, durability, and performance are optimized for clay.

How do I clean the clay off my shoes?

After playing, use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove excess clay. For tougher spots, use a damp cloth, but avoid soaking the shoes.

What is the main benefit of the K-Frame structure?

The K-Frame provides enhanced stability and support, particularly during lateral movements and quick directional changes on the court.

How does the Hyper Foam midsole contribute to performance?

Hyper Foam offers excellent energy return and cushioning, helping to absorb impact and provide a responsive feel for agile play.

What does 'Duraprint' material mean for the upper?

Duraprint is a lightweight, breathable, and durable material that enhances the shoe's longevity and provides a stable fit for aggressive players.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the intended user for these shoes?

These shoes are intended for aggressive adult male players who require maximum performance on clay tennis courts.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more room in specific areas. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.

Reduced grip on clay court

Ensure the outsole is free from caked-on clay. Use a soft brush to clean the tread pattern. Excessive wear on the outsole may require replacement.

Upper material feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The Duraprint material is designed for durability and may require some use to become more flexible.

Discoloration from clay

Clay can stain white materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is the recommended approach for maintenance. Focus on regular brushing after play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. Simply ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust lacing to your preference for optimal security and comfort before your first use.

Compatibility:

These shoes are specifically designed for clay tennis courts. While they may offer some grip on other surfaces, their optimal performance and tread life are achieved on clay.

Care:

  • Post-Match Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off excess clay from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid using water excessively, as it can affect the materials.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them 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 and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
  • Laundering: Do not machine wash or dry clean these tennis shoes. Spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, rinsing the cloth thoroughly afterward.
