FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Shoes are designed for court-specific movements and not for running. Their sole is optimized for indoor traction and stability, not the sustained impact and different motion of running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
The Adituff toe is a special reinforcement applied to the toe area of the shoe. It enhances durability and protects against abrasion, which is beneficial for sports involving frequent toe dragging or scuffing.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the adidas Ligra 8 Indoor Shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
How often should I replace my indoor court shoes?
The lifespan of shoes depends on usage frequency and intensity. For regular players, it's generally recommended to replace them every 6-12 months or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or loss of cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed. The material may also break in slightly with use.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear; if worn, replacement may be necessary.
Feet feel overheated
Ensure socks are made of moisture-wicking material. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.
Deodorizing the shoes
Remove insoles and air them out separately. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake out.
