Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with athletic socks for initial wear to help break them in. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded court debris. If significant wear is visible, replacement may be needed.
