FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed for clay court surfaces; using them on hard courts may result in premature wear of the specialized outsole.
How do I determine the correct size?
The product follows UK sizing. Always rely on your UK size measurement, as the manufacturer box may prominently display US or EU equivalents.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if preferred.
How do I clean the synthetic leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
GEL technology is designed to absorb impact forces during landing and provide smoother transitions between strides.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose during play
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly through the midfoot eyelets and consider using a runner's loop at the top to secure the heel.
Loss of traction on the court
Check the outsole for compacted clay or debris stuck in the tread pattern; clean thoroughly with a stiff-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, try your shoes on immediately upon receipt to verify the fit against your UK size preference, ignoring potential US/Euro markers on the box. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth to remove clay buildup. Use a soft brush on the outsole to clear debris from the grooves, which helps maintain the anti-slip performance over time. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the cushioning materials.
