Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth periodically during play to remove dust and restore grip.
Fit feels too snug
Ensure laces are properly loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe needs a brief break-in period.
Appearance of dirt on marbled TPU panels
Use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
