FAQs
Can I use these on hard courts?
While they can be worn on hard courts, the herringbone tread is specifically optimized for clay and may wear down faster on abrasive hard court surfaces.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials used are designed for breathability and performance on court; they are not waterproof.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The UK size 4 is a standard adult female fit. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
What is the purpose of the DuraWrap cage?
It provides a durable shield to protect the upper shoe from premature wear during intense dragging or sliding motions.
Are the sock liners removable?
Yes, the die-cut foam sock liner can be removed for cleaning or replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court surface
Check if the herringbone treads are clogged with clay or dirt and clear them out with a brush.
Discomfort during match play
Ensure the laces are tied firmly but not too tightly to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure these shoes are worn with tennis-specific socks to maximize moisture-wicking and comfort. Regarding care, clean the herringbone tread after each session on clay to ensure debris does not build up, which can impact grip. Wipe the RPU cage with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat drying, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and the foam sock liner. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
