Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on dusty courts.

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup and restore grip.

Ankle feels unstable during lateral movements.

Ensure the laces are securely tied, utilizing all eyelets for maximum lockdown. Check if the padded collar is sitting correctly around the ankle.

Discomfort in the heel after long wear.

The Air Strobel cushioning may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional padding.

Mesh upper appears dirty.

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid excessive scrubbing.
