Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually over a few sessions.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Periodically clean the outsole as per care instructions.
Ankle feels unsupported
Ensure the laces are tied securely, providing adequate support. The mid-top design offers support, but individual needs may vary.
