FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional tournaments?
The Court Express 2 is designed for developing players and offers balanced performance. For professional tournaments, players might require shoes with more advanced features and specialized support.
Can I wear these on hard courts?
While possible, these shoes are optimized for clay courts. Wearing them frequently on hard courts may reduce their lifespan and affect traction due to the different surface demands.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the K-SWISS sizing chart and measure your foot. If possible, try them on as fit can be personal. This model is in UK sizing.
What makes the outsole suitable for clay?
The Aösta 7.0 rubber compound combined with a specific herringbone pattern provides superior grip and allows for controlled sliding on the fine particles of a clay court.
How durable is the drag guard feature?
The extended drag guard is designed to reinforce high-wear areas, particularly around the toe and medial side, increasing the shoe's overall durability during intense play on clay.
What is the main benefit of the K-EVA midsole?
The K-EVA midsole provides enhanced cushioning for comfort during play and improved durability of the midsole itself, offering a good balance of support and resilience.
How often should I clean my court shoes?
It's recommended to wipe them down after each use to remove excess dirt. A more thorough cleaning can be done periodically as needed, following the care instructions provided.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on court
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. The herringbone pattern is designed for clay; traction may be less on other surfaces.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check sock type for potential causes.
Outsole wear and tear
This is normal with consistent use, especially on abrasive surfaces. The extended drag guard helps, but clay court play is recommended for longevity.
Mesh appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and mild soap solution, then wipe with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
