Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or constricting
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size is correct or if the break-in period is needed for the structural elements.
Traction is poor on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Wipe down the soles with a damp cloth before playing. If playing on a dusty court, frequently wipe the soles.
Discomfort in the arch or heel
Verify that the laces are tied correctly to provide adequate support. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that offer more tailored arch support.
Upper material showing signs of wear
Clean the shoes regularly as per care instructions to remove abrasive dirt. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh conditions.
