FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are specialized padel court shoes. They are designed for lateral stability and court grip, which differs significantly from the mechanics required for distance running.
How do I maintain the leather overlays?
Keep them clean by wiping off dust and court grit after each use. Avoid getting the shoes soaked, and never put them in a dryer.
What surface are these shoes for?
These are optimized for padel court surfaces.
How does the GEL technology help?
The GEL technology is placed to offer shock absorption, helping reduce the impact on your joints during jumps and quick stops on hard courts.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the synthetic leather provides some protection, they are not classified as waterproof. They are breathable to allow for comfort during play.
Troubleshooting
Outer material shows signs of dirt build-up
Gently wipe the synthetic leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry completely.
Feeling instability during rapid pivots
Check that your laces are tightened correctly to secure the midfoot and ensure your socks are not causing slippage inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal longevity, avoid washing these shoes in a machine. Instead, clean the exterior by wiping the leather and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the cushioning materials. Since these are performance trainers, ensure they are laced securely before every play session to maintain the integrity of the supportive fit. They are compatible with standard court-specific sports socks to maximize moisture-wicking and blister prevention.
