Alright guys so i just bought a new pair of tennis shoes off of e b a y, and the type of shoe i bought was the Nike air max courtballistec 4.3. So i ordered the shoes, and they arrived 3 days later, but when i opened up the package, the box said air max courtballistec 4.3 CLY. So these ended up being legitimate, authentic, and new shoes, BUT they were the clay edition, not the normal edition designed for hard court play. I went back on the sellers page to investigate, and found that nowhere did it specify that these were the clay edition. So what i'm wondering is, should i return these shoes and get a refund, OR should i just use them and hope that they hold up on hard court? Opinions and past experience with clay shoes on hard courts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
CCGET

No return them. No good for hard court. And the seller should pay for the return shipping, because they are not as described.

Does the rubber wear down really fast with clay shoes on hard court?

Yes! They are called "clay court" shoes for a reason.

The soles will shred like cheese on a grater when worn on hard courts.

Tell the seller you want a partial refund or have them pay return shipping. Also threaten bad feedback. :evil:

the seller agreed to full refund plus return shipping, BOOYA.
Im just wondering about how clay shoes would function on hard court as far as gripiness and an amount of play time before they wear through for durability
