Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Court Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4 Rafa, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes are true to fit for standard athletic sizing, though the rigid structure may feel snug initially. Ensure you wear your preferred tennis socks when trying them on.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for light practice sessions for 3-5 hours before using them in full-intensity matches to allow the upper materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After play, brush off loose clay or court debris using a soft-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized adhesives and foam components.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole foam from degrading or the materials from becoming brittle.
