FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the Ligra 8 is specifically engineered for indoor court use and lacks the cushioning and outsole profile required for outdoor running.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
The Ligra 8 features a regular fit. You should have about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
What is Adituff?
Adituff is an abrasion-resistant material used in the toe area to protect the shoe from wear and tear during sports involving high-impact movements.
Are these trainers machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as water and heat can damage the leather upper and the structural adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during quick turns
Re-tighten the lace closure, ensuring the tongue is centered and the heel is pushed fully into the back of the shoe.
Visible dirt or scuffs on the leather upper
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Slipping on the court surface
Check the outsole for dust buildup and wipe the soles with a damp cloth; keep the court surface clean to maintain maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your adidas Ligra 8 trainers, ensure you choose the correct UK sizing to maintain the structural benefits of the regular fit. As these are leather-based trainers, avoid machine washing them, as this can degrade the material and the bonding agents. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior after each use to remove dust and sweat. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally by stuffing them with paper rather than exposing them to high heat sources.
