FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

These trainers are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be worn on hard courts, the outsole's performance and durability may be different. For consistent hard court play, consider a model designed for that surface.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoes should fit snugly but not too tightly. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking or running.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?

The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent cushioning, absorbing shock during impact and reducing stress on the feet and joints, which is crucial for young athletes.

How often should I replace my tennis shoes?

The lifespan of tennis shoes depends on frequency of use, court surface, and playing intensity. Typically, they should be replaced when the cushioning feels diminished, the outsole shows significant wear, or there are signs of structural breakdown.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The fit is generally standard. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on or check reviews specifically mentioning width accommodation.

What does 'GS' stand for in the product name?

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School', indicating that these shoes are sized for children.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with your usual tennis socks for a more accurate fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if they are broken in sufficiently or if a different size is needed.

Reduced traction on court

Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the wear is significant, the shoes may need replacement.

Discoloration or material damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean only with a damp cloth as per care instructions. If damage occurs, consult product care guidelines.

Compatibility: Specifically designed for use on clay tennis courts. While they can be worn on other surfaces, performance and durability may be affected. Not recommended for activities other than tennis.

Care:
