FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
The adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Shoes are designed specifically for indoor courts. The outsole is optimized for non-marking surfaces and may wear down quickly or perform poorly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
What is the main benefit of the Adituff toe?
The Adituff toe is a reinforced layer designed to protect the shoe from excessive wear and tear in the toe area, which is common in sports requiring quick movements and drag-like actions.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit should allow about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should not feel overly tight across the width.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a portion of the materials used in the shoe's construction has been recycled from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
How durable is the cushioning?
The cushioned midsole is designed to provide lasting comfort and impact absorption for regular athletic use. However, like all cushioning, its effectiveness may gradually decrease over extended periods of heavy use.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
Wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks is recommended. These socks help manage sweat and reduce the risk of blisters, complementing the breathability of the shoe's upper.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, focusing on distributing pressure evenly. If still too tight, consider if this is a temporary break-in period or if a different size might be more suitable.
Lack of grip on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Court conditions can also affect grip; ensure the court surface is appropriate for athletic footwear.
Discomfort during play
Verify the lacing is correct and not too tight or too loose. Ensure the shoes are worn with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, it may be related to foot anatomy or the specific demands of the sport.
Reduced breathability
Check the mesh panels for any blockages. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing them again. Persistent issues might indicate material wear over time.
