These shoes are specifically designed for clay tennis courts, featuring an outsole that provides optimal traction and stability on this surface.
WINGWALL technology is located on the lateral side of the shoe and enhances stability during lateral movements, allowing for more confident footwork when changing direction or recovering.
Yes, the GEL technology in the rearfoot provides excellent shock absorption for softer landings, and the OrthoLite sockliner offers additional cushioning, contributing to comfort during extended play.
While they may offer some traction, these shoes are optimized for clay courts. Using them extensively on hard courts may lead to faster outsole wear and potentially affect their intended performance characteristics.
The outsole features AHARPLUS rubber in the heel area, which is ASICS' highly abrasion-resistant rubber compound designed for enhanced durability, offering significantly longer wear than standard outsole rubber.
The insole is made using a solution dyeing process that reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by about 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
After play, use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove excess clay. For a deeper clean, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water can be used. Ensure they air dry naturally.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt. Ensure laces are not overtightened. If the issue persists after break-in, consider if the size is appropriate or if alternative lacing techniques might help relieve pressure points.
Check the outsole for packed clay or debris. Clean the grooves thoroughly with a soft brush. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for clay courts; performance may differ on other surfaces.
Verify that the shoes are laced correctly to provide adequate heel support. The GEL technology is designed for cushioning, but ensure the fit is snug around the heel to benefit from this feature.
This could be due to aggressive lateral movements or sliding. While the WINGWALL technology adds support, excessive friction may still cause wear over time. Proper footwork and technique can help minimize this.
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. They are designed specifically for use on clay tennis courts. For best results and to maintain the integrity of the shoe, avoid using them on hard courts, carpet, or grass, as this can affect traction and potentially damage the outsole.
