FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed with an Aösta 7.0 rubber outsole for optimal traction and durability on clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, performance and wear may be affected.
How do I clean the clay off the shoes?
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove loose dirt and clay. For more stubborn dirt, a damp cloth can be used. Avoid strong detergents and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What makes the outsole suitable for clay courts?
The Aösta 7.0 rubber compound combined with a herringbone pattern provides superior grip and prevents excessive clay buildup, allowing for quick movement and stability on clay surfaces.
What is the K-EVA midsole?
K-EVA is a specialized midsole material used by K-SWISS that enhances cushioning and durability, providing comfort and support during play.
Is this shoe good for beginners?
Yes, the Court Express 2 is built on a popular platform and is ideal for developing players seeking a balance of comfort, support, and value.
How durable is the drag guard feature?
The drag guard is an extension of the outsole rubber in high-wear areas, designed to increase durability. Its effectiveness depends on individual playing style and court conditions.
Can men and women wear these shoes?
These specific trainers are listed as 'Male' but the Court Express 2 series often has unisex or women's specific models. Always check the product details for the intended gender.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels insufficient on clay
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. The herringbone pattern is designed for clay; ensure you are on the intended surface.
Feet feel uncomfortable or sore after play
Verify you have the correct size and width. Allow a short break-in period. Ensure laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.
Shoe appears to be wearing out quickly
Check if the shoes are being used on surfaces other than clay. Ensure the drag guard area is not excessively worn, which might indicate a specific playing style.
Mesh upper feels less breathable
Ensure the mesh is clean and not clogged with dirt or dust. Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth.
