FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Ligra 8 Trainers are designed for indoor court sports. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for the specific needs of running, especially on hard surfaces or for long distances. Their primary function is providing agility and grip on indoor courts.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their construction, contributing to adidas's commitment to sustainability.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and shape of the shoe.
What type of indoor sports are these best for?
They are ideal for sports like volleyball, badminton, handball, and squash, which require quick movements, lateral stability, and good grip on indoor courts.
Do these shoes offer ankle support?
The Ligra 8 are low-top trainers, providing standard support for the ankle. For individuals requiring enhanced ankle support, a higher-cut shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the shoe should feel comfortably snug around the midfoot when laced.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied evenly. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width is needed, or try wearing thinner socks.
Reduced grip on court
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the indoor court surface is clean and free of obstructions.
Shoe feels slippery inside
Ensure your socks are not damp. If the issue persists, consider using an insole with better grip or ensure the shoe's laces are tied securely.
Discomfort in the toe area
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The Adituff toe is designed for durability but should not cause discomfort. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the lace closure to your preference. It's recommended to wear them with athletic socks designed for sports to maximize comfort and performance.
Compatibility: The adidas Ligra 8 is specifically engineered for indoor court surfaces. They are compatible with a wide range of indoor sports activities including volleyball, badminton, handball, and squash. They are not recommended for outdoor use, as the outsole tread is optimized for indoor grip and may wear down quickly on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the trainers 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 away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
