FAQs
What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?
Relaxed Fit® indicates a roomier, more comfortable fit in the toe box and forefoot, providing ample space for your feet during activity.
How does the Hands-Free Slip-ins® technology work?
The unique heel design and internal structure allow you to easily slide your foot into the shoe without needing to touch the back of the shoe or bend down.
Is the Arch Fit® insole removable?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole is removable, allowing for customization with your own orthotics if needed.
Can I use these for running or general fitness?
These trainers are specifically designed for court sports like pickleball, padel, and tennis. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specific support or stability required for running or high-impact general fitness activities.
What is the benefit of the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® outsole provides enhanced durability, slip resistance, and stability, offering reliable grip and control on various court surfaces.
How often should I wash my trainers?
It is recommended to wash your trainers as needed, especially after heavy use or if they become soiled. Over-washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of the materials.
What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance is granted by the American Podiatric Medical Association to products that are found to be safe and beneficial for foot health.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping shoe on
Ensure the heel counter is fully accessible. Loosen laces slightly. The Heel Pillow® may feel snug initially but will conform with use.
Reduced traction on court
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort during play
Ensure the Arch Fit® insole is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider trying the shoe with or without the insole, or with a different sock thickness. Allow a short break-in period.
Machine wash results in damage
Always use cold water and a gentle cycle. Air dry completely. Avoid high heat or tumble drying, which can damage materials and adhesives.
