Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is slightly off, adjusting the lacing can help fine-tune snugness. Some materials may require a brief break-in period.

Squeaking sound during movement

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently twisting the shoe to see if it resolves. Ensure the insoles are properly seated.

Premature wear on outsole or upper

Avoid using the shoes for activities other than their intended purpose (basketball). Clean and care for the shoes regularly as per the care instructions to prolong their lifespan.
