FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay tennis courts?
While the Michelin sole provides good grip, these are specifically designed for the movement patterns and surfaces of padel courts.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the Ortholite insole is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the mesh and cushioning foams.
Are the Babolat Jet Viva trainers unisex?
Yes, they are designed as a unisex performance shoe, available in various sizes to suit different foot profiles.
What is the primary benefit of the KPRS-X system?
The KPRS-X system is specifically engineered to provide targeted heel cushioning, reducing impact force during jump smashes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping during play
Ensure the Michelin soles are free of sand or dust buildup; clean the outsoles with a damp brush to restore grip.
Odour buildup after intense matches
Remove the Ortholite insole after playing to let it air out separately and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area.
Laces coming undone
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the eyelets to maintain a secure lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Babolat Jet Viva trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the size allows for a thumb-width of space in the toe box while wearing sport-specific athletic socks to prevent slippage.
- Surface Compatibility: These shoes are optimized for padel courts. While they can be used on indoor gym surfaces, the tread pattern is specifically tuned for sand and grass-based grip.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt after each match using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials.
