FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
The Ultrashot 4 trainers are specifically designed and optimized for clay courts, featuring an Aosta 7.0 outsole for superior grip on that surface. While they can be used on other surfaces, their performance and durability may be best suited for clay.
How do I clean the clay off the shoes?
After playing, use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove loose clay. For more persistent dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid washing machines or harsh chemicals.
What is the main benefit of the Surge 7.0 midsole?
The Surge 7.0 midsole provides exceptional energy return, meaning it absorbs impact and then propels you forward, enhancing responsiveness and reducing fatigue during play.
How does the graphite winglet improve performance?
The custom graphite winglet is integrated to enhance stability, particularly during rapid lateral movements and changes in direction, helping to prevent foot slippage and support the foot.
What makes the Aosta 7.0 outsole special for clay courts?
The Aosta 7.0 outsole compound is engineered to provide superior grip and traction on the loose surface of clay courts, ensuring you can move confidently without slipping.
Are these shoes recommended for professional players?
Yes, the Ultrashot 4 is worn by ATP and WTA professional players, indicating its suitability for high-level competitive play.
How long does the Duramesh upper take to break in?
The Duramesh upper is designed for breathability and comfort. Like most performance footwear, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Traction is not as expected on clay.
Ensure the Aosta 7.0 outsole is free of embedded clay or debris. Brush the outsole clean. If the shoes are heavily worn, consider replacement.
Feet feel uncomfortable or tight during play.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter play sessions. Consider alternative lacing techniques to adjust fit.
Shoes do not seem to provide enough support.
Verify that the 360 PSC chassis and graphite winglet are functioning correctly. Ensure the laces are tied securely to maximize the stability features. Replace worn-out insoles if necessary.
Materials feel stiff or lack flexibility.
Allow for a proper break-in period. The Duramesh upper and midsole technologies are designed to adapt to your foot with use.
