Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Try wearing them with different socks or for short periods to allow the material to mold to your foot. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Traction appears reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris. This will help restore grip.

Mesh upper showing signs of wear

Avoid excessive scraping or dragging of the shoes during play. Clean gently and inspect regularly for any potential tears.
