Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in with short periods of wear.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or dry microfiber towel to remove dust buildup. Periodically cleaning the sole will restore grip.

Ankle feels unsupported

Check that the laces are tied securely, especially around the ankle area. Ensure the extended ankle cut is properly positioned around your ankle.

Discomfort during impact

Verify that the encapsulated Air unit in the heel is intact. For significant discomfort, the shoes may have reached the end of their cushioning lifespan.
