FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While wearable, the deep herringbone pattern and rubber compound are specifically engineered for clay courts. Using them on hard courts may result in premature tread wear.
How do I clean the RPU upper?
Wipe the RPU cage with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbing or harsh chemicals to protect the material's flexibility.
Is the sock liner removable?
Yes, the die-cut foam sock liner is removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics if required.
Does this model provide arch support?
The shoe provides neutral support with responsive cushioning suitable for most players.
What is the best way to dry them?
Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can damage the adhesive and foam components.
Troubleshooting
Excessive clay buildup in the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the herringbone grooves after each match to maintain optimal grip.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned properly starting from the bottom eyelets and check that you are using the correct sock thickness.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that you are playing on clay courts, as the herringbone outsole is specifically calibrated for this surface. For care, it is recommended to brush off excess clay from the tread pattern after every session to prevent debris from hardening. To clean the upper, use a soft damp cloth to wipe down the RPU cage; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized materials and foam liner. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and cushioning integrity.
