ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay Court Tennis Shoes

The Gel-Challenger 13 Clay Court tennis shoe creates the stability you need when you're covering the baseline, so you can keep your mind focused on controlling the point.

Supportive Upper

The upper of the ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay is designed to provide unbeatable support. It features a PGUARD toe protector to protect the toe box and your feet from abrasions and ensures long-lasting performance. WINGWALL technology is placed in the sidewall to improve stability during side-to-side movements. This offers good support, so you can step into your shot and strike the ball with more pace. The traditional lacing system gives that locked-in feel for added confidence and secures the shoe to the foot for improved stability and control. A padded tongue feels comfortable against the skin and protects the foot from lace pressure.

GEL Technology Midsole

The midsole of the Gel-Challenger 13 Clay will provide you with comfort, protection and responsiveness. The midsole is extremely springy, helping every step feel extremely comfortable. Creating excellent comfort, the GEL technology cushioning unit in the heel and forefoot is functional for providing better shock absorption, reducing the impact and weight placed on the knees, ankles and other joints. Additionally, every step you take when running (or making short, sharp movements) will be enhanced by the responsive midsole, providing an added spring in your step to help you push past your opponents. An Ortholite sockliner delivers step-in comfort and moisture-wicking properties to keep feet dry and comfort from start to finish..

AHARPLUS Outsole

A thinner and lighter version of ASICS high abrasion resistant rubber, this outsole is tough and protective, while being light enough to allow comfortable and unrestricted movement on the court. This rubber is placed on heavy contact areas of the outsole in order to reduce excessive wear without compromising on durability. AHARPLUS has 3 times higher abrasion resistance when compared to more conventional rubbers, and is 50% lighter, making it an outstanding choice for anyone looking to raise their game to the next level. While being protective, light, and resistant is very important, the outsole offers the perfect level of grip on the court thanks to the herringbone tread pattern; it's got enough traction to keep you from slipping and sliding, but will still allow you to be light on your feet.
