Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur due to air trapped between the sole layers or outsole grip. Try playing on a different surface or ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Laces becoming untied easily
Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
This may indicate the shoes need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, and ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Reduced traction on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust buildup. The grip is optimized for clean court surfaces.
