FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts, featuring an outsole optimized for traction on that surface. While they can be worn on hard courts, their performance characteristics may be different, and durability could be reduced compared to shoes designed for hard courts.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Generally, tennis shoes should fit snugly but allow space for toe movement. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider your typical sock thickness.
What is the main advantage of the HB designation?
The 'HB' in the model name typically signifies a design that is particularly well-suited for clay court play, often referring to specific outsole patterns or durability features tailored for that surface.
How long do these shoes typically last on clay courts?
The lifespan varies based on playing frequency, intensity, and court conditions. However, being designed for clay, they should offer good durability for regular play on their intended surface.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the return policy if they don't fit?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, K-Swiss often releases models in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available color options in the Hypercourt Supreme 2 series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on court
Ensure court is not excessively wet. If the issue persists, clean the outsole tread of embedded clay or debris.
Discomfort or hot spots during play
Ensure you have the correct size and lacing technique. Consider wearing thicker athletic socks or exploring alternative lacing patterns. Allow for a break-in period.
Outsole showing premature wear
These shoes are designed for clay courts. Using them frequently on harder surfaces like asphalt or concrete will accelerate wear. Limit use to clay courts for maximum longevity.
Shoes retain moisture or odor
Ensure shoes are properly aired out after each use. Use an anti-odor spray or insert charcoal inserts when storing. Consider rotating between two pairs of shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. A proper fit is crucial; the shoes should feel snug but not restrictive, with enough room in the toe box for natural foot splay.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for clay tennis courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, their specialized tread is optimized for clay and may wear faster or perform differently on hard courts or grass.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off excess clay with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
- Socks: Wear appropriate athletic socks to enhance comfort and moisture management.
