Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists after a few wears, consider if the sizing is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Slipping on the court.
Confirm you are on a clay court. If on a different surface, performance may vary. Ensure the outsole is free of debris that could affect grip.
Wear and tear appearing quickly.
Check if the shoes are being used on surfaces other than clay, which can accelerate wear. Ensure proper care and storage practices are followed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
The cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after a significant period of play to maintain optimal performance.
