Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to your preferred tightness. Ensure your socks are of appropriate thickness. For initial wear, the shoe may feel snug as it conforms to your foot.
Traction feels slippery on certain courts
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Dust or residue can impair grip. Some court surfaces may naturally have less grip than others.
Discoloration or scuff marks on the upper
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently clean the affected area. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized sneaker cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous spot first.
