FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for regular tennis?
While designed specifically for padel court dynamics, they can be used for casual tennis, though a dedicated tennis shoe may offer more specific support for that sport.
How do I choose the right size?
ASICS generally follows standard UK sizing. Ensure you have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the cushioning material. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
What is the primary benefit of the leather overlays?
The overlays on the toe area protect the shoe from abrasion and wear common during sliding or dragging movements on padel courts.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound is designed for court use and will not leave streaks on indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Slippage during matches
Check the outsole for accumulated dust or sand buildup and clean it with a soft-bristled brush.
Feeling of tightness in the toe box
Ensure your laces are not overtightened at the forefoot and consider using a thinner athletic sock to allow for natural leather expansion.
Interior odor
Remove the inner sockliner and let it dry separately; use a shoe deodorizer spray intended for athletic footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest life for your sneakers, remove them immediately after play to allow the interior to air out. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture rather than using direct heat. To clean the leather exterior, wipe away surface dust with a dry cloth and use a damp sponge for tougher spots; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. Check the outsoles periodically for accumulated sand or debris to maintain optimal court grip. Proper fit is essential, so ensure your socks match the intended thickness for court sports.
