FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for tennis as well?
While designed for padel, the stability features can perform well on tennis courts, though the outsole pattern is optimized specifically for padel court grip.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot expansion during play.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are designed for breathability and are not waterproof; they are intended for use on indoor or outdoor court surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles with custom orthotics?
Yes, the stock insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on frequency of play, you should look for signs of midsole compression or tread wear, usually after 6-12 months of regular usage.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Ensure the laces are tightened firmly across the arch and consider using a 'runner's loop' at the top eyelet to lock the heel in place.
Feeling stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for light walking or short practice sessions to allow the upper materials and midsole to mold to your foot shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, lace the shoes securely starting from the bottom eyelets to achieve a custom tension across the midfoot. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic socks. For care, avoid using a washing machine as it can degrade the cushioning materials. Instead, remove loose dirt from the outsole with a soft brush after each match. If the interior gets wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle.
