Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. If still tight, the size may be incorrect for your foot. Break-in period may also help.
Cushioning feels stiff
The Zoom Air cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light activity to allow the cushioning to adapt.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid playing on excessively dusty surfaces if possible.
Metallic finish showing wear
Avoid scuffing against hard surfaces. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For significant scuffs, professional restoration may be considered.
