FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Harden Vol. 9 features a snug bootie fit. If you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, you may consider a half-size increase.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While designed for performance, outdoor use on abrasive concrete may wear down the outsole pattern faster than indoor court play.
How should I store these to maintain the heel cup?
Keep them in a flat, dry position. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of the heel area to prevent deforming the carbon fiber support.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if necessary.
Does the blue colour fade?
The materials are durable and colour-fast, though we recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the Glow Blue accents.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness or pressure points
Adjust the laces to loosen the midfoot area and allow the neoprene bootie to adapt to your foot shape over time.
Accumulated dirt on mesh sections
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh pores before wiping with a damp cloth.
Loss of traction
Wipe the outsole with a damp towel to remove dust and court debris that may cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the internal bootie provides a compressive, performance-oriented fit. We recommend wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks to complement the breathable mesh upper.
For care and maintenance:
- Cleaning: Wipe down synthetic leather and mesh surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to protect the integrity of the adhesive and foam.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the foam or damage the synthetic materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the elasticity of the neoprene bootie and the performance properties of the midsole.
