FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass courts?
These shoes are specifically engineered for clay courts. While they may offer some grip on other surfaces, they are not optimized for grass.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are tennis-specific trainers. They are built for lateral stability rather than the forward-motion mechanics of running.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
They should fit comfortably with a small amount of space in the toe box while feeling snug around the midfoot and heel.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Most players find them comfortable immediately, but a few sessions of play usually help the materials mold to your foot shape.
How often should I replace these tennis shoes?
Depending on frequency of play, you should inspect the tread depth every 6-9 months for signs of excessive wear.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court
Check the outsole for excessive clay buildup in the grooves and ensure the court surface is not overly dry or dusty.
Discomfort during long matches
Verify that your sock thickness is appropriate and re-adjust the laces to ensure the midfoot is properly supported by the SPEEDTRUSS system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel Game Clay trainers, avoid wearing them outside of the tennis court, as grit and rough pavement can quickly degrade the specialized outsole.
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets securely to lock in the heel to prevent blistering during play.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth after each match. Remove debris from the outsole tread using a soft-bristled brush to maintain grip effectiveness.
- Storage: Air dry the shoes in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
