FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
Yes, the Michelin outsole is designed to provide traction on all court surfaces, including clay.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The SFX Evo is built with a wider fit profile, so they generally align with standard UK adult sizing while offering more internal volume than traditional narrow tennis shoes.
How do I maintain the cushioning?
The OrthoLite insole is removable. If it loses bounce or becomes overly damp, you can remove it to let it air out, or replace it with an aftermarket support insole.
Can I use these for other sports?
While designed for tennis, the lateral support and stability make them suitable for other court sports like pickleball or badminton, though they are specifically optimized for tennis-specific footwork.
How long does the outsole typically last?
Thanks to the Michelin technology, the outsole is highly durable, though actual lifespan will depend on your playing frequency and court abrasiveness.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during play
Ensure the lateral straps are tightened securely and check that your socks are not overly slick. Consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel.
Accumulation of dust in the mesh
Gently tap the soles against each other outdoors and use a soft-bristle brush to dislodge particles from the ventilated mesh areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your standard athletic performance socks to optimize the fit of the OrthoLite insole. These shoes are designed for all-court play, making them compatible with hard, clay, and synthetic surfaces. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, remove loose dirt after each session with a soft brush. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material deformation.
