Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a more even distribution of pressure. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if break-in time is needed.

Reduced responsiveness over time

Check for debris or wear on the sole and midsole. Ensure the shoe is clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement after prolonged use.

Slipping during lateral movements

Ensure laces are tied securely. Clean the rubber sole to remove any slick residues. For persistent issues, these trainers may be less suited for highly dynamic, multi-directional sports compared to specialized court shoes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Wipe the 100% polyurethane upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking.
  2. Lining & Cushioning: The 100% textile lining and cushioning can be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Remove dirt from the 100% rubber sole using a brush. Ensure the sole is dry before storage.
  4. Drying: Never place the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials. Air dry them naturally.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
