Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you've selected the correct UK size. ASICS often provides a size chart; refer to it and try on before purchase, noting potential differences in US/Euro sizing mentioned on the label.
Reduced grip on clay court surface.
Check the outsole for excessive mud or debris, which can reduce traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the tread pattern is significantly worn, the shoes may need replacement.
Foot discomfort or rubbing during play.
Ensure you're wearing appropriate athletic socks. Verify the shoe fit; sometimes a different lacing technique can alleviate pressure points. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe size or width is suitable for your foot shape.
