Clay Court Shoes (also for All Courts)

Although the soles are designed primarily for clay courts, they can be used on all court surfaces. They have a normal herringbone pattern all the way through the sole unit, which is good for all courts, but is particularly suited to clay courts. As well as a suitable outsole, these shoes also provide a good level of stability and lateral support, key for clay court players moving side-to-side at the baseline. The herringbone pattern runs all the way along the sole, without a break so it creates even weight distribution, allowing for smooth sliding around a clay court.
