FAQs
What size is this specific product?
This specific product variant is a UK size 7.
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
These trainers are designed for hard courts. While they may offer some grip on clay, their traction pattern is optimized for hard surfaces and may pick up excessive clay.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure there is no pinching or excessive looseness around the heel or midfoot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the main benefit of the Zoom Air technology?
Zoom Air technology provides responsive cushioning, offering a springy feel that enhances energy return during athletic movements.
How often should I replace my court shoes?
The lifespan of court shoes depends on frequency of use, intensity of play, and court surface. Generally, look to replace them when you notice significant wear on the outsole, loss of cushioning, or reduced support.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Check that the shoes are the correct size and fit snugly. If the issue persists, the court surface may be damp or worn.
Discomfort or rubbing
Try wearing thicker athletic socks. Allow a break-in period of a few wearings. Ensure the laces are tied correctly for optimal support without being too tight.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The Zoom Air unit's responsiveness may diminish with extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure the shoes are not consistently exposed to extreme temperatures which can affect cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a proper fit. It is recommended to wear athletic socks when trying them on to gauge comfort and fit accurately.
Compatibility: Specifically designed for hard court surfaces such as tennis courts. While they can be worn on other court types, their optimal performance and durability are best realized on hard surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
