FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports like volleyball, badminton, and handball. They are not optimized for running and lack the cushioning and support features required for running activities.
What is Lightstrike cushioning?
Lightstrike is a type of lightweight and responsive cushioning technology developed by adidas, particularly focused on providing comfort and energy return with minimal weight, especially in the heel of these shoes.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, contributing to adidas's commitment to sustainability.
Can I use these shoes for outdoor sports?
No, the non-marking Adiwear outsole is designed for indoor courts. Using them outdoors will wear down the outsole quickly and may affect traction.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. Based on user feedback, some find they need to adjust their usual size. The product description notes a 'regular fit'.
What is the purpose of the padded tongue and collar?
The padding enhances comfort by cushioning the ankle and top of the foot, reducing pressure points from the shoe's structure and laces, especially during repetitive movements.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The shoes feature an EVA midsole for general cushioning. While they offer support for indoor court activities, individuals requiring significant arch support may benefit from adding aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces using the lace closure system. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger or smaller, as the fit can vary between individuals.
Slipping during play
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free from debris. If playing on a dusty court, wipe the soles periodically with a damp cloth. The non-marking outsole is designed for specific indoor surfaces; performance may vary on unsuitable surfaces.
Discomfort on the heel
Ensure the laces are properly tied to secure the heel. If discomfort persists, it might indicate the specific fit or cushioning profile is not suitable for your foot shape or playing style. Try a different lacing technique or consider insoles.
Upper material appears dirty
Gently clean the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to maintain their shape and material integrity.
