Lacing: Lace the shoes securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for maximum support.
Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, a short break-in period (1-2 sessions) on court can help the shoes mold to your feet.

User Group: Intended for adult male players.
Sport: Ideal for tennis and padel players.
Cleaning: After play, gently wipe off any visible dirt or clay using a soft, damp cloth or brush. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air out and consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
