FAQs
Is the Harden Vol. 9 true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size, but the snug bootie construction may feel tight if you have wider feet.
Can these be used for outdoor basketball?
While the materials are durable, they are optimized for indoor court performance; outdoor use will accelerate wear on the outsole traction pattern.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather overlays?
Use a soft cloth with a small amount of leather cleaner specifically designed for sports footwear.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed for cleaning or for the insertion of custom orthotics.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the combination of the molded overlays and the cushioned midsole provides substantial midfoot and arch stability.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty sliding foot into the shoe
Ensure the laces are completely loosened and the neoprene bootie tongue is fully pulled forward before entry.
Laces coming undone during play
Use a double-knot technique or ensure the laces are pulled tight through the upper eyelets to lock the foot down.
Accumulation of dust on outsole affecting traction
Wipe the soles with a damp towel periodically during games to restore grip on the court.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the shoe features a neoprene bootie, it is recommended to fully loosen the laces before entry to avoid straining the collar materials. To maintain the life of your trainers, ensure they are stored in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight after use.
To clean, wipe the leather and mesh surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and cushioning properties. If the footbed becomes damp, remove it and allow it to air-dry naturally outside of the shoe to prevent odour build-up.
