FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily designed as performance court trainers and are not recommended for long-distance road running due to the specific outsole construction.
Can I use these on grass courts?
The deep herringbone pattern is best suited for hard courts or clay; while they provide decent traction, they are not specifically optimized for grass.
How do I ensure the correct size?
This model follows standard adult UK sizing; if you typically wear a specific size in other athletic trainers, those should fit comfortably.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the Aösta 7.0 rubber is designed for court use and is generally non-marking for indoor and outdoor court environments.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the die-cut foam sock liner is removable if you need to insert custom orthotics or specific insoles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Tighten the laces through the eyelets more securely and ensure the heel is fully seated in the padded collar.
Outsole losing grip
Check the herringbone tread for debris, small pebbles, or impacted dirt and clear them using a brush.
Initial discomfort during wear
The RPU cage requires a short break-in period; wear the shoes for shorter durations during initial sessions to allow the material to flex to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lateral support provided by the RPU cage
- Durable high-density rubber outsole for various court types
- Lightweight design reduces foot fatigue during long matches
- Stable fit due to the padded ankle collar
Cons
- Design is optimized for performance, potentially less plush than casual trainers
- Rigid structure may require a brief break-in period
- Specific herringbone tread performs best on court surfaces rather than rugged outdoor trails
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks that provide adequate padding. These shoes feature a performance-standard lace-up system; adjust the laces so that the midfoot feels secure but not restricted. To maintain the shoes, wipe down the outsole after every court session to remove grit or clay from the herringbone grooves, which preserves traction. If the upper becomes soiled, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, avoiding submersion or harsh scrubbing that could damage the RPU cage material. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
