Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The GEL-CHALLENGER 15 CLAY trainers come ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and performance. Lace up the shoes securely, adjusting the tightness to your comfort level, ensuring the supportive upper wraps snugly around your foot without excessive pressure.
Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for play on clay courts. While they can be used on other surfaces, their traction and performance may not be optimized, and the unique outsole pattern might wear faster on abrasive surfaces like hard courts.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and clay. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Insole Care: The OrthoLite sockliner can often be removed for separate cleaning or airing out. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
