FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
The GEL-Challenger 15 is optimized for clay court surfaces. Using them on hard courts may result in faster wear of the outsole.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the OrthoLite insole is removable, which helps with cleaning and airing out the shoe.
How do I clean the white exterior?
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the fabric.
What is the benefit of WINGWALL technology?
WINGWALL technology is designed to improve lateral stability, helping you stay balanced during quick side-to-side movements on the court.
Are these shoes true to size?
The GEL-Challenger 15 generally follows standard athletic sizing; however, always refer to your specific UK size measurement for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Accumulated clay affecting grip
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the tread pattern on the outsole after every match.
Insoles retaining moisture
Remove the OrthoLite insoles after use to allow them to air out independently from the shoe.
Visible wear on toe area
The PGUARD is designed to take the impact, but if severe peeling occurs, ensure your footwork does not involve excessive dragging on the court surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Surface Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for clay court use. While they perform well on clay, using them on abrasive hard courts may accelerate outsole wear.
- Cleaning: After play, gently brush off loose clay from the outsole to maintain traction. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water; avoid machine washing.
- Air Drying: Remove the OrthoLite insoles after matches to allow both the shoe and the insole to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
