Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If the issue persists after adjustment, consider if the size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed.
Slipping during play
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time to consider a new pair of shoes as the grip is compromised.
Discomfort after use
Verify the correct size has been selected. Allow a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Fraying of mesh material
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If minor fraying occurs, it may be a sign of excessive wear or damage from sharp objects. Focus on careful use and storage.
