Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Loosen the laces slightly if needed.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or use a brush to remove accumulated dust and debris. Some players use a wet towel to clean the soles mid-game.
Leather overlays appear creased
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store properly when not in use.
