Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur due to the materials rubbing together or moisture. Try ensuring the laces are tied correctly and that the insoles are properly seated. If it persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Tight fit despite being the correct size
The 'Noah' model, especially the PF version, is designed for a secure fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted for comfort, not overtightened.
Traction feels inconsistent on certain courts
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris, which can significantly impact grip. Wipe down the soles with a damp cloth before playing. Different court surfaces naturally offer varying levels of traction.
