Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during play

Double-knot the laces for a more secure fit. Consider replacing laces with a material that offers better grip if the issue persists.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the shoes are laced correctly and not too tight or too loose. Wear appropriate athletic socks. Break in the shoes gradually through shorter wear periods.
