Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of excess clay or debris. Use a brush to clear the tread pattern.
Feet feel uncomfortable after initial use
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase playtime.
Shoes feel too tight
Verify you have the correct UK size. If still tight, ensure laces are not overly tightened and allow for the break-in period.
Excessive sweating or heat inside the shoe
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. The breathable upper is designed to promote airflow, but performance can be enhanced with appropriate socks.
