Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few sessions to break them in. If the noise persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole or lace area.
Reduced grip on court surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Court dust and debris can accumulate and reduce traction. Wipe down the soles with a damp cloth before play. Check for excessive wear on the herringbone pattern.
Discomfort or pressure points
Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. The ankle bungee can also be adjusted for personalized comfort. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type.
