Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Traction seems reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and restore grip.

Minor scuffs or dirt on the leather/mesh

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For tougher spots, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly on leather sections, following product instructions.
