Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
Slippage on dusty court surfaces
Use a damp towel to wipe the outsoles during timeouts to restore the grip of the rubber compound.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your T-Mac 1 Retros, always ensure you are wearing the appropriate athletic socks to prevent friction against the leather lining. For sizing, these are standard UK adult sizes; if you prefer a thicker sock for added impact protection, consider whether you need to adjust your sizing accordingly. To clean the leather, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust and court debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
