Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration after cleaning

This can happen if too much water is used. Ensure you use specialized suede cleaners and a dry brush for maintenance. For minor issues, sometimes a suede eraser can help restore the nap.

Tight fit or discomfort

Since these are new, they may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure. The lacing system can be adjusted to better suit your foot's shape.

Poor traction on court

Ensure the outsoles are clean and free from debris. Dust and dirt can significantly reduce grip. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth before playing if necessary. Traction may also decrease with significant wear over time.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with new, standard shoelaces. Consider using wax-coated laces for improved durability and a more secure knot.
