FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While the materials are durable, these trainers are optimized for indoor court grip and performance. Outdoor use may lead to faster outsole wear.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Adidas. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary. These are UK sizing.
What is the main benefit of the Boost cushioning?
Boost cushioning provides exceptional energy return, meaning less effort is required to generate power for jumps and sprints, and it offers superior shock absorption.
How often should I clean my Marquee Boost trainers?
Regular light cleaning after play is recommended. Deep cleaning should only be done when necessary, following the care instructions.
Can these trainers be used for other sports?
While they offer good support and cushioning, they are specifically engineered for the demands of basketball. Use for other sports may not be ideal.
What does the 'wear-resistant' feature mean in practical terms?
It means the materials used in key areas of the shoe, particularly the outsole and upper, are designed to withstand abrasion from court surfaces and intense gameplay, prolonging the shoe's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not overly tightened.
Slipping on the court
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean.
Ankle support feels excessive
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide a slightly looser fit around the ankle collar, while maintaining midfoot security. This may require experimentation.
Difficulty removing shoes
Loosen the laces significantly, especially around the ankle area, before attempting to remove the shoes.

Care:
