FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

No, these are designed specifically for the side-to-side and stop-and-go movements of padel and lack the forward-motion support needed for running.

Can I use these on clay tennis courts?

While they share some characteristics with tennis shoes, their traction pattern is optimized for padel courts and may provide different grip levels on clay.

How should I store them after a match?

Remove the insoles to let them air out and store the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and odor.

Do these shoes come in wide fits?

The Sonicsmash FF is built on a standard athletic fit; we recommend checking your specific UK size for the best fit.

What does the 'FF' in the name stand for?

The 'FF' stands for FLYTEFOAM, which is the signature lightweight cushioning technology used by Asics in this midsole.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability during sharp turns

Ensure the laces are tightened correctly using a 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle.

Accumulation of dust in the sole grooves

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove debris after play to maintain optimal court grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Asics Sonicsmash FF trainers, always loosen the laces fully before putting them on or taking them off to preserve the heel counter structure. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each session and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can damage the performance adhesives and midsole foam. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent material warping.
