FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
While these are designed for clay, they can be worn on other surfaces, but you may experience faster wear on the outsole and less predictable traction.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are designed for breathability. While they can handle damp court conditions, they are not waterproof.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The Barricade series is designed to be form-fitting. We recommend selecting your standard athletic size, ensuring there is a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
How often should I replace these shoes?
For competitive players, we recommend replacing them every 6 to 9 months or sooner if the tread pattern becomes noticeably smoothed down.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal liners can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on the court
Check the outsole for caked-on clay or dirt and clean the tread pattern thoroughly.
Discomfort during initial use
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly to balance support; these performance shoes may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify your sizing matches your standard athletic footwear, as these shoes are designed for a performance fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After play, tap the soles together to dislodge loose clay from the tread pattern.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the upper materials and adhesive.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for debris that may affect traction. If the grip begins to slip, wipe the soles with a damp cloth and allow them to fully dry.
