Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the midfoot strap. Allow for a break-in period of a few games, as the materials will adapt to your foot shape.
Traction feels slippery on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if necessary. Some wear on the outsole is normal, but excessive wear may reduce grip.
Discoloration on the upper
Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive materials.
