FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, these shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. The outsole grip and materials are not optimized for outdoor use or running, which could lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoes should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without causing pressure points or pinching.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method for care.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
The Adituff toe is a feature designed to provide enhanced durability and abrasion resistance in the toe area, which is prone to wear and tear during sports activities that involve frequent stopping and starting.
What is the benefit of the recycled content?
The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content, meaning materials that would have otherwise been discarded have been repurposed. This contributes to reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of production.
How often should I replace my indoor court shoes?
The lifespan of indoor court shoes depends on usage frequency, intensity, and court conditions. Look for signs of wear such as worn-out tread, compressed cushioning, or material breakdown. For regular players, replacing them every 6-12 months is a common guideline.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the shoes are still too tight after adjustment, they may be the wrong size and should be exchanged.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. If the outsole appears worn, it may be time to replace the shoes. These shoes are designed for indoor grip and may not perform as expected on slippery or wet surfaces.
Discomfort during play
Verify the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not restrictive fit. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's cushioning or support meets your specific needs for the sport. Ensure you are wearing appropriate sports socks.
Materials showing wear quickly
Avoid using the shoes for activities other than intended indoor sports. Clean and store them properly to prolong their lifespan. The Adituff toe provides extra protection, but excessive abrasion can still cause wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Shoes require no specific setup. Simply try them on for fit. Ensure they are the correct size before use to maximize comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for optimal performance on clean, dry indoor court surfaces such as wood, synthetic, or rubberized gymnasium floors. They are not compatible with outdoor surfaces, rough terrain, or athletic tracks, as the outsole is not designed for these conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the shoes clean with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Laces: Keep laces clean by wiping them with a damp cloth. If they become excessively dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately.
