FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hard courts?
While wearable, the clay-specific tread pattern will wear down much faster on hard courts than on clay surfaces.
How do I determine if the size fits correctly?
You should have approximately a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot expansion during play.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the provided insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
How often should I replace my tennis shoes?
Depending on playing frequency, it is recommended to replace them every 4-6 months to maintain optimal cushioning and support.
Do these shoes come in different widths?
The Gel-Challenger 15 is generally built on a standard width; please check the specific product listing for width-specific options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery on court
Check the outsole for compacted clay or debris in the tread patterns and clean them out with a brush.
Feeling of foot discomfort or blisters
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking sports socks and check that the lacing pressure is uniform across the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Gel-Challenger 15, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks that allow for proper moisture management. When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the cushioning materials. To clean the shoes, gently brush off loose clay after each use; if they become muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the structure and adhesive components of the shoe.
