Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during play
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with thicker, grippier laces.
Slight stiffness in the upper
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Gentle flexing can also help.
Dirt and scuff marks on the sole
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the outsole. Magic Eraser can be effective on stubborn marks, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Inconsistent cushioning feel
Ensure the shoe is properly laced and the foot is positioned correctly within the shoe. The cushioning is designed to be responsive, which can feel different from softer, less dynamic foams.
