Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually through shorter periods of use. If still uncomfortable, consider if a half-size larger might be more suitable.
Reduced grip on court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if necessary.
Discomfort during lateral movements
Confirm that the laces are tied correctly for a secure fit. The torsional plate is designed to provide stability, ensure the shoe is properly fitted.
Mesh upper feels restrictive
The mesh is designed for a snug, supportive fit. If it feels too tight, ensure laces are not overtightened. The material may also loosen slightly with wear.
