Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is new, it may require a break-in period. Loosen the laces and wear for short durations.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. This can help restore grip.
Color transfer to socks
This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear. It's recommended to wear darker socks initially until any excess dye has washed out.
