Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and the ankle bungee. Wear with thin athletic socks initially. If tightness persists after a few wears, consider if the size is appropriate.
Traction feels slippery on certain courts
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Some court surfaces may inherently offer less grip; test on different surfaces if possible.
Slight discomfort in the ankle area
Adjust the ankle bungee for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the neoprene collar is not bunched up. Wear for short periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Visible scuffs on the TPU cage
Minor scuffs on the TPU can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. Deeper scratches may be permanent.
