FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While they can be worn on hard courts, they are specifically engineered for clay courts. The outsole pattern provides optimal grip and durability on clay and may wear faster or offer different traction on hard surfaces.
Do I need to break in these shoes?
No, the Hypercourt Express 2 Clay features Durawrap Flex technology, which provides immediate support and comfort, eliminating the need for a break-in period.
How do I clean clay off the shoes?
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to gently remove loose clay after each use. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Are they good for wide feet?
The Hypercourt Express 2 is known for a generous fit, which often accommodates wider feet well. However, individuals with very narrow feet might find them too spacious.
What makes the Surgelite midsole special?
Surgelite is a proprietary cushioning technology that makes the midsole exceptionally light and comfortable, absorbing shock effectively without adding weight.
How durable are these shoes on clay?
The shoes are designed for durability on clay courts, featuring materials and construction tailored for the specific demands of clay court play, including supportive overlays and a robust outsole.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too loose
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a thicker sock or adding an aftermarket insole for a snugger fit, especially if you have narrow feet.
Reduced traction on court
Check the outsole for packed clay and clean it thoroughly. Ensure the court surface is not unusually dry or dusty.
Discomfort after initial wear
While designed for no break-in, allow a few more wears to fully adapt to your foot. Ensure the lacing is appropriate for your foot shape.
Fraying on Durawrap Flex material
This is uncommon with proper care. If it occurs, check warranty information. Avoid excessive friction or scraping against rough surfaces.
