FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hard courts?
These trainers are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, their traction and durability may be optimized for clay, and they might wear faster on abrasive surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What is the main advantage of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints during play and enhancing overall comfort.
How often should I replace my tennis trainers?
This depends on playing frequency and intensity. Typically, tennis trainers need replacement every 6-12 months when the cushioning and support begin to degrade, or when visible wear affects performance.
What does 'Clay' in the product name signify?
'Clay' indicates that the shoe is engineered with an outsole pattern optimized for superior grip and performance on clay tennis courts.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels slippery on court.
Ensure the clay court is not excessively wet or dusty. Brush off any accumulated debris from the outsole.
Feet feel uncomfortable after a match.
Allow the shoes to air out completely between uses. Consider using performance socks. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Excessive wear on the outsole.
While designed for durability, aggressive play can accelerate wear. Ensure you are using them on their intended surface (clay) to maximize lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, requiring no special setup. Their primary compatibility is with clay tennis courts. For care, it is recommended to brush off excess clay after each use with a dry brush. Avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Proper care will help maintain the integrity of the materials and the grip of the outsole.
