Can these shoes be used for outdoor courts?
Yes, the durable rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various court surfaces, including outdoor courts.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild leather cleaner, and follow up with a conditioner to maintain the material's quality.
What is the primary color of this shoe?
The primary color of this 'Christmas' edition is Purple, with accents of Black, Emerald Rise, Magic Ember, and Canyon Purple.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

What is the significance of the 'Christmas' designation?

Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during play
Ensure the laces are tightened properly, utilizing the midfoot webbing for a secure lockdown. Adjust lacing to personal preference for optimal support.
Traction feels inconsistent on the court
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Check the foot measurement guide provided to confirm your EU size. If between sizes, consider the recommendation to choose the nearest larger size for a more adaptive fit. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in.
Leather material scuffs easily
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Address minor scuffs promptly to prevent them from becoming permanent.
