Full details

Their key benefit is a breathable, cushioned feel combined with durable traction for agile movements. A potential consideration is the specific fit for size 15 UK, which may require careful sizing verification.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Ligra 8 features a regular fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or check reviews regarding width.
Can I use these for general gym training?
While they offer good cushioning and support, they are optimized for the multi-directional movements of court sports. For general gym training, specialized trainers might offer better stability or flexibility depending on the activity.
How durable is the Adituff toe?
The Adituff toe reinforcement is designed to withstand abrasion and common wear during sports that involve toe drag, significantly enhancing the shoe's lifespan in that critical area.
What is the benefit of the recycled content?
Using at least 20% recycled content reduces the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process.
How do I know if the UK size 15 is the right fit?
It's best to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to the brand's official sizing chart. Ensure there is adequate space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip.
Can the insoles be removed to fit custom orthotics?
The insoles are typically designed to be removable in athletic shoes like these, allowing space for custom orthotics. However, confirm this by checking if the insole lifts out easily without being glued down.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie them more loosely. Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks.
Slipping during play.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the court surface is particularly slick, consider that performance may vary.
Discomfort in the toe area.
Verify the lacing is not too tight in the forefoot. If discomfort persists, the shoe's shape may not be suitable for your foot.
Material feels stiff.
This is common with new synthetic leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The mesh areas will remain breathable.
