FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for indoor court sports and are not optimized for running. They provide cushioning and traction for lateral movements, but may lack the specific support and cushioning required for sustained running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel is secure and does not slip when walking.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth instead.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
Adituff toe is a reinforcement applied to the toe area of the shoe, designed to provide enhanced durability and abrasion resistance, which is particularly useful in sports that involve dragging the toe.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, these trainers contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, aligning with adidas's commitment to sustainability.
What sports are these trainers best suited for?
They are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, handball, and squash, where multi-directional movement, stability, and good traction are crucial.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a shoe bag or keeping them in their original box can help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width is needed.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the shoes are old, the traction may have diminished, and replacement might be necessary.
Discomfort during play
Verify the lacing is correct and not too tight or too loose. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Materials feel stiff
Synthetic leather and mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced up securely but comfortably before your first use to allow for a customized fit.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for indoor court sports. They are compatible with standard indoor sports surfaces like wood, synthetic, or rubber courts. Not recommended for outdoor use or rough terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
- Laces: Keep laces clean and replace if frayed to ensure a secure fit.
