Built for long rallies on red clay. The Blushield Torneo 2 Clay Tennis Shoes in white/red/grey combine Diadora’s Blushield® cushioning with a supportive SuprellTech + D-Skin upper and a Duratech 5000 clay-specific outsole—delivering confident slides, quick recoveries, and match-long comfort.
Why Torneo 2 Clay excels
-
Blushield® underfoot system: reactive cushioning in the metatarsal zone helps absorb impact and keep your stride centered during stop-start points.
-
Clay-tuned grip: durable Duratech 5000 rubber in a clay-specific herringbone for bite, easy shed, and predictable slides.
-
Locked-in upper: SuprellTech + air-mesh with D-Skin overlay blends breathable comfort with abrasion-ready support.
-
Stability frame: lightweight EVA midsole with CCB arch reinforcement to help control torsion on wide balls.
-
Heel hold: soft, textured non-slip Lycra® lining reduces lift on explosive lateral cuts.
-
Removable insole: cushioned footbed you can swap for custom orthotics.
Fit & sizing
True-to-size performance fit: secure at heel/midfoot with toe room for push-offs and slides. If you use thicker match socks or prefer extra space, consider 1/2 size up.

FAQs
Are these only for clay?
They’re tuned for clay with a specific herringbone and compound. For hard courts, choose the all-court Torneo version.
How’s the stability?
CCB arch reinforcement + sturdy upper overlays help keep the foot centered during aggressive lateral moves.
Do they take long to break in?
Minimal break-in—upper relaxes after a session or two while maintaining support.
Orthotic-friendly?
Yes—the DDATTIVO insole is removable for custom footbeds.
