FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts due to their Aösta 7.0 sole with a deep herringbone tread. While they can be worn on hard courts, the tread may wear down faster, and traction might not be optimal.

How do I clean the clay off the shoes?

Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt and clay after each use. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Allow the shoes to air dry.

What makes the sole good for clay courts?

The Aösta 7.0 sole features a deep herringbone tread pattern that provides excellent grip and allows for controlled sliding on clay surfaces, preventing excess dirt from sticking to the shoe.

Is the cushioning sufficient for long matches?

The shoes feature a foam insole for step-in comfort and cushioning, designed to support players through extended periods of play. The lightweight nature also helps reduce fatigue.

What is the benefit of the DuraWrap Flex upper?

The DuraWrap Flex upper provides enhanced durability and protection against abrasion, which is common during tennis matches, helping to extend the lifespan of the shoes.

Can these shoes be worn by women?

While these shoes are marketed towards men, sizing can sometimes overlap. However, the fit and design are optimized for a male foot shape. For women, it's recommended to consult a size conversion chart.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on court

Ensure the sole is clean and free of excessive clay buildup. The herringbone tread is designed for clay; performance may vary on non-clay surfaces.

Discomfort around the ankle

Verify the lacing is appropriate – not too tight or too loose. Allow a break-in period if the shoes are new.

Signs of abrasion on the upper

The DuraWrap Flex upper is designed for abrasion resistance. Monitor for excessive wear and ensure the shoes are not used for activities outside of tennis.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. It's recommended to wear them for a short period before a match to allow your feet to adjust.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for clay courts. The specialized sole offers optimal traction on this surface. While they can be worn on other court types, performance and durability may be compromised.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After play, brush off loose dirt and clay with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Allow 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.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
