FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for school running?
These are designed specifically for tennis and hard-court lateral stability; they lack the flexibility and cushioning required for distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
These follow standard UK children's sizing. It is recommended to leave a thumb-width of space in the toe box for comfort.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the internal structure and GEL units. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the best method.
Are these suitable for clay courts?
The sole is optimized for hard courts; while they will provide support on clay, they may not offer the specific grip required for clay court sliding.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
GEL technology provides impact protection by absorbing shock, making it easier on the feet and joints during the repetitive jumps and starts of tennis.
Troubleshooting
Fastening system feels loose during play
Ensure no debris is trapped in the mechanism and confirm the strap is fully engaged.
Soles losing traction on court
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove court dust, as fine grit can act as a lubricant and reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care ensures the longevity of your footwear. To clean, remove loose surface dirt with a soft brush after play. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can deform the cushioning components and adhesives. For the best fit, ensure the child is wearing sports socks that match the thickness of their typical practice socks. Check the fastening system regularly for debris buildup to ensure the secure lock mechanism functions smoothly.
