FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

These shoes are specifically engineered for clay courts and may not offer optimal performance or durability on hard courts. Their outsole pattern is designed for clay's unique surface.

How do I clean the clay off the shoes?

Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to gently remove excess clay after each use. Avoid washing with water or using detergents.

What makes the K-Frame Speed RUBLO ideal for clay?

The shoe features a specialized outsole for grip on clay and a TPU-K-Frame for stability during lateral movements common on this surface. The cushioning is optimized for the demands of clay court play.

What is the primary benefit of the Hyper Foam midsole?

The Hyper Foam midsole provides excellent cushioning to absorb impact and returns energy efficiently, aiding in explosive movements and reducing fatigue during long matches.

How durable is the Duraprint upper?

The Duraprint upper is designed to be lightweight, breathable, and highly durable, offering longevity even under the stresses of aggressive tennis play.

Can I use these shoes for other sports?

While versatile, these shoes are optimized for the specific demands of clay court tennis. Using them for other sports may not provide the intended support or could lead to premature wear.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on clay

Ensure the outsole is free of packed clay and debris. Clean with a soft brush. If wear is significant, consider replacement.

Discomfort during play

Verify the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are properly tied for adequate support. Consider using aftermarket insoles if specific arch support is needed.

Upper material feels stiff

The Duraprint upper is designed for durability and may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially until they conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These tennis shoes are ready to wear directly out of the box and require no specific setup. They are designed specifically for clay tennis courts.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After use, gently brush off any excess clay or dirt from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture.
