Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they provide excellent cushioning, they are specifically engineered for court-based movements (lateral stability) rather than the forward-motion mechanics of long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing; ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate movement.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert personal orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the best way to keep the white fabric clean?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent immediately after getting them dirty to prevent stains from setting into the mesh.
Does this model come in other colours?
Yes, the Gel Challenger 15 series is available in several colourways including Black, Green, and variations of White.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
This is normal for a new shoe; wear them for light walking or low-intensity warm-ups for 3-5 days to break in the materials.
Reduced traction on the court
Check if dust or dirt has accumulated in the tread grooves and use a soft-bristled brush to clear any debris.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Verify that the lacing is not too tight across the bridge of the foot; adjust the tension to allow for natural swelling during exercise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by selecting the correct UK size, such as the 8.5 UK variant for a standard fit. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they are inserted after removing the factory-provided sockliner to maintain proper volume. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap to remove court dust. Air dry the shoes in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from warping or degrading. Regularly checking the outsole for debris buildup will maintain maximum traction during your games.
