How often should I replace my padel shoes?
The lifespan of padel shoes depends on usage. Inspect the soles regularly and replace them when the tread is worn down to ensure optimal grip and performance. Frequent players may need to replace them more often.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, ASICS shoes run true to size, but it's always best to try them on or consult the size chart, especially if you have wide feet or wear thick socks.
Can I use these shoes on outdoor courts?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Consider loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot.
Shoes are slipping on the court.
Check the condition of the outsole. If the tread is worn, it may be time for a new pair. Ensure the court surface is clean.
