FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
Yes, the durable leather construction and robust sole are well-suited for the demands of outdoor court surfaces.
How do I determine my size?
Measure your foot from heel to toe. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a better fit.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the structural adhesive; stick to surface cleaning.
Do these provide arch support?
The Pro Model 2G series is designed for stability, which inherently includes a supportive midfoot chassis suitable for most foot types.
Are these shoes heavy?
Because they are constructed from genuine leather for durability, they are sturdier and have more weight than modern mesh-based trainers.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness or discomfort during first use
Leather shoes often require a breaking-in period; wear them for short durations indoors before full athletic use.
Difficulty maintaining a secure heel lockdown
Adjust the lacing pattern to a 'runner's loop' or ensure the laces are tightened specifically at the ankle eyelets.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, measure your foot length from the heel to the longest toe; if your measurement falls between two sizes, opt for the larger size to accommodate movement. For long-term care, clean the leather upper with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner to prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the leather and impact the support features.
