We have often seen in the past how important the right footwear is on the red ashes. Sand is not the same as sand. While in Austria and Germany we play on very coarse-grained sand, which sometimes feels almost like gravel, in France you play on "greasy" sand. Björn Borg, for example, used to play with grass court shoes, including stubble, and Thomas Muster with so-called "digger shoes" because they had a better grip. It goes without saying that the groundskeepers were not very enthusiastic and the shoes that may be worn at the stand were soon regulated. So that you also have the right equipment, we have tested the new models together with Hervis and present you here the four best shoes for the clay court season 2021.
Nike Vapro Pro - The shoes of the clay court king Rafael Nadal
What suits the 13-time Roland Garros winner and King of the Sands can't be bad for us, right? We thought so too. The Nike Vapro Pro are not only a real eye-catcher, they are also pleasantly light and have a supportive effect. The asymmetrical lacing encloses the foot perfectly and provides support when changing direction quickly. If Rafa had to describe the shoes in one word, it would be "Vamos!"
At Hervis, the Nike Vapro Pro are currently on sale and currently only cost € 99.99 instead of € 119.99, so get yours now!

Adidas Solecourt Primeblue - the shoe that Dominic Thiem and world savior rely on
The reigning US Open Champion relies on the Adidas Solecourt Primeblue this clay court season. Also this year Thiem is one of the favorites in Paris and in terms of shoe technology he is focusing on comfort and stability this year. In addition to the TPU chassis and the preformed heel cap for better grip, the Boost midsole returns energy to the wearer with every step. The Primeblue is also made of high-performance recycling material, some of which is plastic waste from the sea. So you can say that this shoe has a “sea value”!

Adidas Courtsmash - A bargain for all bargain hunters
The Adidas Courtsmash is the winner when it comes to price management. They are super cushioned by the foam midsole, which guarantees a soft landing and the rubber sole provides good traction at the same time. The shoe is rounded off by its stylish look that is typical of Adidas. We can only say: with the Adidas Courtsmash shoes you 'smash' every opponent on the wall!
