FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, their specialized outsole tread may offer reduced grip and wear faster than on clay.
How do I clean the clay from the outsole?
Use a soft brush to remove loose clay. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth can be used. Avoid using water jets or harsh cleaning agents.
What is the benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?
The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system, designed to absorb shock during impact, providing comfort and reducing stress on your joints during play.
How long do these shoes typically last?
Durability depends on playing frequency, court surface, and individual playing style. However, the durable materials used are intended to withstand the demands of regular clay court play.
What makes the outsole pattern specific to clay courts?
The pattern features specific grooves and a density optimized to grip loose clay particles, allowing for controlled slides and preventing excessive slipping.
Can I wear these for general training or running?
While they offer good support, they are optimized for tennis movements. For general training or running, dedicated trainers for those activities would be more appropriate and efficient.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on court
Ensure the shoes are specifically for clay courts and that the outsole is clean. For hard courts, consider a different shoe model designed for that surface.
Discomfort or blisters
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate tennis socks and break in the shoes gradually with shorter sessions.
Reduced grip over time
Clean the outsole regularly to remove embedded clay or debris. If grip significantly degrades, the outsole may be worn and require replacement of the shoes.
Shoes feel stiff
This is common with new, supportive shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase playing time to allow them to break in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off excess clay with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water.
