Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Loosen or tighten the laces as needed.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions carefully.

Traction is reduced on court

Clean the outsole to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is not excessively slippery.

Laces are fraying

Replace the laces. If the eyelets are causing wear, ensure laces are not tied excessively tight.
