FAQs
What type of sports are these shoes best suited for?
The adidas Ligra 8 Trainers are ideal for various indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, handball, and other similar activities requiring agility and grip.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
No, these shoes are designed specifically for indoor courts. The rubber outsole may wear down quickly and lose traction on outdoor surfaces.
How do I clean my Ligra 8 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
Do these shoes contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Ligra 8 trainers contain at least 20% recycled content, contributing to sustainability efforts.
What does 'Adituff toe' mean?
Adituff toe is a reinforcement in the toe area designed to provide enhanced durability and protection against abrasion during play.
How should I ensure I get the right fit?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for sports. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that your heel is secure without slipping.
What is the main difference between these and running shoes?
Ligra 8 trainers are built for multi-directional movement and court grip, while running shoes are typically optimized for forward motion and impact absorption over longer distances.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on with athletic socks. If still uncomfortable, consider a different size or width if available.
Slipping on the court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the issue persists, the shoes may be worn out or unsuitable for the specific court surface.
Discomfort during play
Verify you have the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are tied appropriately – not too tight or too loose. Break-in periods may be required for new shoes.
Materials showing wear quickly
Ensure the shoes are used only for their intended purpose (indoor courts) and are cared for properly. The Adituff toe should help with abrasion, but excessive scuffing can still cause wear.
