FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or outdoor activities?
No, the adidas Ligra 8 trainers are specifically designed for indoor sports. Their outsole and construction are optimized for indoor court traction and support, not for running or outdoor surfaces.
How should I clean my Ligra 8 trainers?
Clean the upper using a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
Adituff toe refers to a specific reinforcement in the toe area, made from a highly abrasion-resistant material to protect the shoe and your foot during intense indoor sports movements.
Do these trainers contain recycled materials?
Yes, these trainers contain at least 20% recycled content in their manufacturing, reflecting adidas's commitment to sustainability.
What is the main benefit of the mesh upper?
The mesh upper provides breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during physical activity by allowing air circulation.
How does the lace closure contribute to performance?
The lace closure allows for a customized and secure fit, ensuring your foot is stable within the shoe, which is crucial for preventing injuries and maximizing agility during quick movements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider that the fit might not be suitable for your foot shape, or break-in time may be needed for the materials to adapt.
Traction feels reduced on the court
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Wipe away residue with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Adituff toe shows signs of wear
While designed for durability, excessive abrasion can still occur. Ensure your technique and footwork are not causing undue stress on the toe area. Clean the area regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have them laced securely before each use for optimal performance and support. Adjust the lacing to your comfort level.
Compatibility: The adidas Ligra 8 is specifically designed for indoor court surfaces such as wood, synthetic, or specialized rubber flooring. They are not recommended for outdoor use, trails, or rough terrain, as this can damage the outsole and compromise traction.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
