FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

The Hypercourt Express 3 Clay trainers are specifically designed with an outsole optimized for clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, their grip and durability characteristics are best suited for clay.

Do I need to break these shoes in?

No, a key feature of the Hypercourt Express 3 Clay is that they require no break-in time and are comfortable straight out of the box.

How do I clean the clay off my shoes?

Use a dry brush or soft cloth to remove loose clay. For tougher dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid washing machines or soaking the shoes.

What makes the Surgelite+ midsole beneficial?

The Surgelite+ midsole provides an optimal balance of cushioning and stability, enhancing comfort and responsiveness during play while helping to absorb impact.

Is the fit true to size?

The shoes offer a generous fit in the forefoot. Most users find them true to size, but if you have a narrow foot, you might consider a slightly tighter lacing or an insole for a more secure feel.

What is the main difference from the previous Hypercourt Express 2 model?

The Hypercourt Express 3 features an updated Surgelite+ midsole, offering improved comfort and stability compared to its predecessor, while maintaining the lightweight and breathable characteristics.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too wide in the forefoot

Consider using thicker socks or adding an aftermarket insole for a snugger fit. If the fit is significantly off, try a half-size smaller if available, or consult with a footwear specialist.

Traction feels insufficient on dry clay

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Clay court outsoles rely on surface interaction; packed dirt or dust can reduce grip. Lightly brushing the sole may help.

Discomfort after extended wear

While designed for comfort, ensure proper lacing technique. If persistent, consider the possibility of needing orthotics or a different shoe model that better suits your foot arch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no break-in period and are ready for immediate use on the court. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.

Compatibility: Primarily designed for clay courts, the outsole offers superior grip on this surface. While they can be used on other surfaces, performance and durability may vary.

Care Instructions:

  1. After use, remove excess clay or dirt with a dry brush or soft cloth.
  2. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes in water.
  3. Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
