FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
These shoes are engineered specifically for clay courts. While you can wear them on hard courts, the outsole may wear down significantly faster.
How do I find my size?
The Gel-Challenger 15 fits true to standard athletic sizing. If you have worn ASICS tennis shoes before, you should select your usual size.
Do these shoes need a break-in period?
While they are comfortable out of the box, some players prefer to wear them for a few light practice sessions to allow the materials to mold perfectly to their foot shape.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if necessary.
How often should I replace these tennis shoes?
For active players, we recommend replacing your shoes every 45 to 60 hours of play to ensure the cushioning and grip are still performing safely.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel lacing' style to relieve pressure points.
Loss of traction on the court
Check the outsole for excessive debris or caked-in clay, and use a soft-bristled brush to clear the tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Gel-Challenger 15, ensure you are wearing them specifically on tennis courts; usage on paved outdoor surfaces or gym floors will rapidly degrade the specialized clay outsole. To maintain the shoes, wipe off excess clay after every session using a dry brush, as caked-on dirt can degrade the upper materials and affect breathability. If they become wet, air dry them naturally at room temperature—avoid using heat sources like hair dryers or heaters, which can warp the cushioning components.
