FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for grass courts?
These shoes are engineered specifically for hard courts; they may not provide optimal traction on grass surfaces.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structure and the cushioning technology. Stick to damp cloth cleaning.
Are these appropriate for school PE classes?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically performance-tuned for tennis. They can be worn, but they are most effective on court surfaces.
How do I determine the right size for my child?
Use a standard foot measuring device and leave about a thumb's width of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe for growth.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
They are designed to be comfortable out of the box, though wearing them for short sessions before a long tournament is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fastening system feels loose during play
Ensure the straps are pulled tight and properly aligned with the fastening patch; check for debris in the mechanism that might prevent a firm hold.
Insole sliding inside the shoe
Remove the insole, ensure it is clean and dry, and verify it is pushed firmly into the toe box before resetting it flat against the heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, confirm the fit by measuring the child's foot with a professional gauge, as tennis shoes should have a small amount of room for toe movement without sliding. To maintain the shoes, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after every match to remove clay or court debris. If the shoes become soaked, remove the laces and insoles, then allow them to air-dry in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the specialized materials and adhesives.
