FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Ligra 8 trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports. While they offer cushioning, they are not optimized for running and may not provide the necessary support or sole structure for consistent running.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent to gently clean the synthetic leather and mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
Adituff is a highly abrasion-resistant material applied to the toe area of the shoe to protect it from wear and tear during sports that involve excessive toe drag.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the benefit of the recycled content?
The trainers contain at least 20% recycled content, which means less virgin material is used in their production, reducing waste and their environmental footprint.
Are these shoes good for multi-sport use on indoor courts?
Yes, the Ligra 8 is designed to be a versatile indoor court shoe, suitable for various sports like volleyball, badminton, and other similar activities that require stability, grip, and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if necessary. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern.
Discomfort or pressure points
Verify that the correct size is being worn. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic use.
Materials appear worn quickly
Confirm that the shoes are being used exclusively on indoor courts as intended. Avoid abrasive surfaces. The Adituff toe protection should help mitigate toe-dragging wear.

Compatibility: The adidas Ligra 8 is designed for indoor court surfaces such as gym floors, wooden courts, and synthetic indoor flooring. They are not recommended for outdoor use or rough terrain as this can damage the outsole and compromise grip.
