FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While durable, they are optimized for indoor performance. Outdoor use may wear down the outsole traction pattern faster.
What is the primary benefit of the carbon fiber heel cup?
It provides superior stability and prevents the heel from slipping during rapid directional changes.
How should I clean the white parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush and mild soap solution. Gently scrub the mesh and synthetic overlays, then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The neoprene bootie provides a snug fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider testing a half-size up.
What technology is in the midsole?
The midsole uses a combination of Boost for impact protection and Lightning Strike for propulsive responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-tie starting from the bottom to adjust the tension across the bridge.
Difficulty putting the shoe on
The neoprene bootie is designed for a snug lock-in. Use a shoehorn to help slide your heel in without crushing the back heel counter.
Minor scuffing on white elements
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for leather and synthetic surfaces, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for light walking sessions before competitive use to allow the neoprene bootie to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic and mesh exterior with a damp cloth after every use to prevent dirt build-up on the white sections.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the leather and synthetic materials over time.
- Insole Care: Remove insoles after particularly intense games to let them air out and prevent odor buildup.
