Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight.
Loosen the laces and try them on with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size or if the shoe requires a break-in period.
Traction seems reduced.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris like mud or pebbles. For outdoor courts, wear may naturally reduce traction over time.
Leather shows scuffs or marks.
Use a leather cleaner or conditioner appropriate for athletic footwear. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out.
