FAQs

What is the main benefit of BOOM technology?

BOOM technology in the midsole is designed to provide superior energy return, making your movements feel more explosive and reducing fatigue during play.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?

While the outsole offers good traction, these trainers are primarily designed for indoor court use. Frequent use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole.

How do I clean my Way of Wade 808 3 Ultra trainers?

Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.

What does the carbon fiber plate do?

The carbon fiber plate enhances the shoe's responsiveness and provides torsional stability, helping to prevent unwanted twisting of the foot during quick lateral movements.

How does the knit upper contribute to performance?

The knit upper offers a breathable and adaptive fit, ensuring comfort and keeping your feet cool while allowing for natural foot movement.

What does the 'Oxygen' colorway represent?

The 'Oxygen' colorway features a unique design inspired by musical notes and waveforms, giving the shoe a distinctive and modern aesthetic.

Is there a break-in period recommended?

While many find them comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period of a few hours of wear is recommended to allow the materials to fully conform to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit upon first wear

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the knit upper to adapt to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during this break-in phase.

Traction seems reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or use a shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles to remove accumulated dust and restore grip.

Shoelaces come undone easily

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing standard laces with specialized athletic laces that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For care, it is recommended to wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and technology. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure proper lacing for a secure fit that maximizes the shoe's performance features and support.
