Lacoste AG-LT23 Ultra is a Clay Shoe? Please clarify

[dotmundo]

Hi

I originally posted this question in the Shoes and Apparels section but it makes sense for me to ask this here:

On a competitor's site, they are listing the orange color version of this shoe as being clay shoes. I looked at another competitor and TW and neither is listed as such nor on the Lacoste web site.
On the photos on TP, I am not seeing any difference in the tread design or depth but the description is very specific this is a clay coursts. I recently purchased the white version of this shoe from TW with the understanding it was for hard courts but have not used them yet. I would love if I could play this on Har-Tru as well as hard courts since those are courts near me. I would also not mind buying the clay version as well.

Can someone from the TW staff clarify this?

Note while I am aware this shoe has a herring-bone tread design, I just recently recovered from a bad fall on my back which resulted in being a neck brace for a few days and I rather have certainty that I am using the right shoes for the surface I am playing at.

Thanks!!

dotmundo,

The orange AG-LT23 Ultra is not a clay specific shoe. My guess is the competitor just made an error. However, the tread is pretty versatile with the herringbone tread pattern and could be used on clay.

Thanks,

I can now testify that these shoes work very on Har-Tru. I pl;ay doubles for 2 hours and never had any kind of slippage. Again thanks @TW Staff for your reply.
