Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too stiff during initial wear.
The Bad 5 Sniper is built for durability on outdoor courts and may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter sessions initially and gradually increase duration to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts.
Outdoor courts can accumulate dust, affecting grip. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth before play or use a brush to remove excess dust from the tread pattern. Ensure the outsole is clean for optimal performance.
Discomfort after extended play.
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. If the discomfort persists after the break-in period, consider if the cushioning level is suitable for your playing style and foot type. Check lacing for even pressure distribution.
