Full details

FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
While the shoe will provide grip, the clay-specific herringbone tread is optimized for loose surfaces and may wear down rapidly on abrasive hard courts.
How do I choose the right size?
The Express Light 3 fits true to size for most, but consider the structure of the RPU cage which offers a more secure, snug feel than casual trainers.
What is the benefit of Aösta 7.0 rubber?
It is a high-density compound that provides exceptional durability, helping the outsole withstand the friction of intense tennis movements.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and the structural adhesive; stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
What is the purpose of the DuraWrap Flex cage?
It provides a balance of flexibility for natural foot movement and durability to resist abrasion during intense lateral play.
Troubleshooting
Excessive clay buildup in tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear the herringbone grooves after every match session.
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the eyelets and check that the heel is firmly seated in the padded collar.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on clay surfaces
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure you select your correct size to utilize the stability provided by the padded ankle collar. To maintain the life of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- After-Play Maintenance: Tap the soles together after each match to dislodge excess clay from the herringbone grooves.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water, as this can degrade the RPU cage adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam density.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent the breakdown of the high-density rubber compounds.
