FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Trainers are designed for indoor court sports and offer cushioning and support for movements specific to those activities. They are not designed for road running or high-impact track activities.
What is the main advantage of the synthetic leather and mesh upper?
The combination provides a balance of durability from the synthetic leather and breathability from the mesh, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during exercise.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not constricting, with no excessive heel slippage when you walk or move.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning. Ensure they air dry completely.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
The 'Adituff toe' refers to a reinforced toe cap designed to provide enhanced durability and abrasion resistance in a high-wear area, common in sports involving quick movements and stops.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Trainers contain at least 20% recycled content as part of adidas's commitment to sustainability.
What type of indoor courts are these best suited for?
These trainers are designed for optimal performance on standard indoor sports courts, including wooden floors, synthetic surfaces, and multi-purpose gym flooring.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly; for a looser feel, ease the tension. If the fundamental size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Lack of grip on the court.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. Court conditions can also affect grip; dry courts generally offer better traction than dusty or wet surfaces.
Discomfort after wearing.
Ensure you have correctly laced the shoes for your foot shape. Allow a short break-in period, as materials may initially feel firm. If persistent discomfort occurs, the fit might not be suitable for your foot type.
Noticeable wear on the toe area.
The Adituff toe reinforcement is designed to combat wear, but aggressive play can still cause abrasion. Ensure your technique does not involve excessive toe-dragging. Regular cleaning can help prevent dirt from exacerbating wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. Lace them up according to your preference for snugness.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for use on indoor sports courts, including wood, synthetic, and multi-purpose flooring. They are not recommended for outdoor use or rough terrains, as this can diminish performance and prematurely wear down the outsole.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
