FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes feature a clay-specific outsole. While they may offer some grip on hard courts, the tread is optimized for the soft surface of clay and may wear out faster on abrasive hard surfaces.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against the brand's size guide or comparing them to your previous ASICS footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather and synthetic materials. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC technology?
The TRUSSTIC system acts as a supportive bridge under the arch, which increases stability and prevents the shoe from twisting during rapid side-to-side movements.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
Given the use of leather and synthetic overlays, most users find that the shoes become more comfortable and flexible after 2-3 hours of active use on the court.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the mesh
Use a dry soft brush to gently clear debris; do not use harsh chemicals.
Feeling of decreased stability
Ensure laces are tightened securely to lock the midfoot in place, and check the outsole for significant wear patterns.
Shoes feel tight after a match
Feet tend to swell during play; ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks that manage moisture effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Always loosen the laces fully before putting on the shoes to avoid straining the heel counter. After playing on clay, use a soft-bristled brush to remove excess dust and dirt from the mesh and sole areas to maintain breathability. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper to maintain their shape; do not machine wash or dry.
