ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay Women's Shoes, White and Purple

3.5 · £62.82

The ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay women's shoes in white and purple (1042A165-104) are a clay-court shoe with a herringbone sole that Padel Nuestro sells for padel, built for players who want GEL cushioning and sideways grip on sand-dressed turf.

It's an earlier Challenger generation than the 15 Padel, and the listings we found give no weight or fit figures. We cover what they do say, and where our own listing runs UK 3.5 to 8.5.

What this Challenger 13 Clay is

Padel Nuestro lists the white and purple pair, code 1042A165-104, as a women's padel shoe. It describes GEL cushioning with extra protection at the heel and the first-toe joints, a Wingwall plate for stability, an OrthoLite recycled insole and an AHARPLUS outsole said to be tougher and longer-lasting, with a toe protector.

The sole is a clay herringbone, made for sliding side to side. A tennis retailer lists the same code as a clay-court tennis shoe, which is why you'll see it described both ways. The herringbone shape also sheds sand, so it suits padel turf.

Not for you if

You need confirmed weight, width or season figures. Padel Nuestro prints none of them, no season is stated, and another retailer lists a different colour code, so match 1042A165-104 before you rely on any other listing's numbers.

Comparison of the ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay women's shoe and the Gel-Challenger 15 Padel women's: AHARPLUS clay herringbone against AHAR modified herringbone sole, both with GEL and Wingwall, 13 Clay with toe protector and OrthoLite insole

Fit and what we could not confirm

We found no published weight, width or arch for this pair, so we won't guess. If you know your ASICS size, the women's chart on our women's padel shoes page covers cross-brand sizing, and the wider padel shoes range has other options to try alongside.

What else you need

A good padel racket, fresh padel balls and a tacky overgrip from padel grips round out a first kit.

ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay Women's Shoes, White and Purple: questions people ask

Is the ASICS Gel-Challenger 13 Clay a padel shoe?

Padel Nuestro sells the white and purple pair as a padel shoe, and tennis retailers list the same code as a clay-court shoe. The herringbone sole suits both.

What is the difference between the Gel-Challenger 13 Clay and the Gel-Challenger 15 Padel?

The 13 Clay has an AHARPLUS clay herringbone sole, a toe protector and an OrthoLite insole, according to Padel Nuestro. The 15 Padel has an AHAR modified herringbone sole made for padel, per Tennis Warehouse Europe.
