FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for tennis?

While these shoes offer excellent support and grip, they are specifically designed for the unique movements and court surfaces of padel. For tennis, HEAD offers specific tennis shoe models optimized for those demands.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by HEAD and measure your foot. The UK sizing is indicated, and ensuring a snug but not tight fit is crucial for performance and comfort.

What is the purpose of the HEAD Lockdown Strap?

The HEAD Lockdown Strap is designed to provide a secure and customized fit, keeping your foot firmly in place within the shoe during aggressive movements and preventing slippage.

How durable is the Drift Defense toe cap?

The Drift Defense technology utilizes a TPU toe cap that offers enhanced durability and protection against abrasion, common in padel play due to toe dragging and court interactions.

Can I wear these for running or other sports?

These trainers are optimized for the specific demands of padel. While they offer cushioning and support, they are not designed for the impact and movements of running or sports like basketball.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.

What does '3D TPU midfoot shank' do?

The 3D TPU midfoot shank provides torsional rigidity and stability through the midfoot, supporting quick changes in direction and preventing the foot from twisting unnaturally during play.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels unstable during lateral movements.

Ensure the HEAD Lockdown Strap is properly fastened to secure the foot. Check that you have the correct shoe size; a shoe that is too large can cause instability.

Reduced grip on the court.

Clean the outsole of any debris or dust that may be affecting traction. If the shoe has significant wear on the tread, it may be time for replacement.

Discomfort in the midfoot area.

Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose, to distribute pressure evenly.

Toe area shows excessive wear.

The Drift Defense technology is designed to protect the toe. Be mindful of specific movements that might cause excessive abrasion, but the shoe is built to withstand standard play.
