How do I clean the synthetic leather upper?
Gently wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
What is the benefit of GEL cushioning technology?
GEL cushioning technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact forces and enhancing comfort during athletic movements.
What does TRUSSTIC technology do?
TRUSSTIC technology is a support unit in the midfoot area that enhances stability, preventing excessive twisting of the foot and improving control during dynamic movements.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks.
Reduced traction on court
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If worn down, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort during play
Verify the fit and lacing. Ensure the ankle collar is properly secured. The shoe may require a break-in period, or consider custom insoles if specific arch support is needed.
