FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These trainers are primarily engineered for clay courts. Using them on hard courts may result in premature outsole wear.
How should I handle sizing confusion?
Always check the actual shoe fit rather than relying solely on the box label, as it may show US or Euro measurements instead of UK sizes.
Are the insoles removable?
The shoes feature 3D printed inserts for stability; however, it is recommended not to remove structural components to maintain the intended performance.
How do I keep them clean?
Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and clean the outsole with a dry brush. Do not machine wash.
What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?
The EVA midsole provides both cushioning for impact protection and energy rebound to assist with quick transitions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are tightened specifically across the eyelets to utilize the 3D printed inserts for a more secure lockdown.
Accumulation of clay in the sole patterns
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear the rubber outsole grooves after each session to restore maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first match, ensure the fit is correct by wearing your preferred tennis socks to account for the thickness of the material. Since the trainers use a lace-up design, you can customize the tension across the midfoot to suit your specific arch support needs. To maintain the life of your shoes, wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after play to remove clay buildup, which can cause premature material degradation. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can affect the structural integrity of the cushioning units.
