Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and try to re-tie them with less tension. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed for the suede.

Traction is reduced on court

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean.

Suede looks discolored or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with a new pair of athletic shoelaces of similar length and material.
