FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor running?
No, the Ligra 8 is engineered for indoor court sports; the sole tread is optimized for gym floors, not outdoor asphalt or gravel.
How should I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the synthetic leather parts. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most adidas indoor trainers feature a removable insole if you need to use orthotic inserts.
Does the Adituff toe protection make the shoe heavy?
No, the Adituff material is strategically placed to add durability without significantly impacting the overall lightweight feel of the trainer.
What is the best way to dry the shoes if they get wet?
Stuff them with dry newspaper or a clean towel and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on court surface
Clean the outsoles with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or debris that can cause sliding.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Re-adjust the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points, or ensure your socks are not too thick for the regular fit design.
Upper mesh showing early wear
Ensure the fit is correct; an overly loose shoe can cause excessive friction on the fabric mesh during lateral pivots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ligra 8 trainers last, properly adjust the lace tension before each session to avoid unnecessary strain on the eyelets. These trainers are primarily compatible with flat indoor court surfaces. To care for them, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth to wipe down the synthetic leather components. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive bonds and synthetic materials.
