Product Information

Full details

The EA7 Tennis Clay Shoes are designed for adult players seeking durable and stable footwear specifically for clay courts. Their key benefit is enhanced stability during quick directional changes and durable performance thanks to the KPU upper. A potential caveat is their specialized design, which may offer less versatility for non-clay court activities. These trainers feature a KPU upper for durability, a stabiliser in the midsole for support, and specific flex zones for agility. They are suitable for tennis, paddle tennis, and multisport use, also serving well for casual wear.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?

These shoes are specifically designed for clay courts. While they can be used on other surfaces, their tread pattern and cushioning are optimized for clay, and performance may vary on hard courts.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. Ensure no part of your foot is being pinched or excessively squeezed.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and always air dry.

What is the main advantage of the KPU upper?

The KPU upper provides enhanced durability and resilience, making the shoes resistant to the wear and tear associated with intensive clay court play.

How often should I clean my clay court shoes?

It's advisable to brush off dirt and clay after each use. A more thorough cleaning can be done as needed, depending on playing conditions.

What does the midsole stabiliser do?

The midsole stabiliser provides crucial support to the foot during lateral movements, helping to maintain balance and prevent excessive twisting of the foot.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on clay courts

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive clay buildup. Brush the sole gently to remove debris.

Discomfort during play

Ensure laces are tied correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Allow for a brief break-in period. Check if the size is appropriate; consider trying a different size if persistent.

KPU upper showing signs of wear

While KPU is durable, excessive abrasion can cause wear. Ensure proper cleaning and drying to maintain material integrity. These shoes are designed for the specific demands of clay courts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply lace them up for a secure fit. Ensure you choose the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Optimized for clay tennis courts. They can also be used for other racquet sports like paddle tennis and general multisport activities. Suitable for casual wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose clay or dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
