Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are double-knotted. Consider replacing with different laces if the current ones are slippery.
Foot feels too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.
Slight tightness in the midfoot
Loosen the midfoot strap and laces slightly. Wear for short periods initially to allow materials to adapt to foot shape.
Reduced traction on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth. If dust is persistent, use a court cleaner or lightly sand the outsole surface (use caution).
