Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or narrow.
Try loosening the laces. If the issue persists, consider breaking them in gradually or exploring wider-fit shoe options.
Reduced grip on the court.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the shoes are old, the tread may be worn down, and replacement might be necessary.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
The mesh upper promotes breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the problem persists, consider shoes with a more ventilated design.
