FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Ligra 8 trainers are designed for indoor court sports and lack the cushioning and support required for running. They are best used for activities like volleyball, badminton, and handball.
Can I wash these shoes 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 for cleaning to preserve the materials and shape.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
Adituff toe refers to a specific reinforcement in the toe area of the shoe, designed to provide enhanced durability and protection against abrasion during intense court play.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the adidas Ligra 8 trainers contain at least 20% recycled content as part of adidas's commitment to sustainability.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is a little space at the end of your longest toe (about a thumb's width) and that the shoe feels snug around the heel and midfoot without being too tight. The lace closure allows for fine-tuning the fit.
What is the primary benefit of the mesh and synthetic leather upper?
This combination provides a good balance of support and breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable during athletic activity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on, then re-tighten to a comfortable level. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet.
Traction seems low on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if necessary. Check that you are using them on appropriate indoor court surfaces.
Excessive foot sweat or odor
Allow shoes to air dry completely between uses. Use moisture-wicking socks. Consider using an anti-odor spray or inserting charcoal insoles.
Visible wear on the toe area
While the Adituff toe is reinforced, excessive dragging can still cause wear. Focus on adjusting your footwork technique or consider a shoe with even more specific toe protection if this is a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The adidas Ligra 8 trainers come ready to wear. Ensure they fit snugly by adjusting the lace closure to your preference for optimal support.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed specifically for indoor court surfaces such as wood, synthetic, or rubberized gym floors. They are not recommended for outdoor use, running on pavement, or trail activities, as this can damage the outsole and compromise performance.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap with water and wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
