Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if they are the correct size or if the lacing pattern needs adjustment.

Traction is poor on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. The grip may vary depending on the court surface. For indoor courts, ensure they are clean of dust.

Color transfer on socks

This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored shoes. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing. Washing the inside of the shoes lightly or wearing darker socks may help mitigate this.

Structural elements feel stiff

The unique structural elements are designed for support and may feel firm initially. Wear them for shorter periods to break them in gradually.
