FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass courts?
The GEL-Challenger 15 Clay is designed specifically for clay. Its outsole pattern may not provide the necessary grip on grass courts.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I clean the white upper?
Use a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the surface and avoid soaking the shoe.
What is the primary benefit of the WINGWALL system?
The WINGWALL system provides a stable platform during lateral movements, helping to prevent ankle rolling.
Are these trainers true to size?
Asics trainers generally follow standard sizing conventions, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly from the bottom up and consider using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.
Insole becomes damp during long matches
Remove the OrthoLite insole after play to allow it to air out completely, or sprinkle with a moisture-absorbing powder overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, verify that the shoes are snug but not tight across the midfoot. Because these trainers use an OrthoLite insole, ensure the insole is properly seated before playing. For maintenance, wipe the outsole clean after every clay session to prevent court debris from hardening and degrading the rubber traction pattern. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials. Use a soft, damp cloth to spot-clean the polyester and synthetic upper, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
