Troubleshooting

Laces loosening during play

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if slippage persists.

Discomfort or pressure points

Adjust lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists after several wears, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot type.

Reduced traction on court

Clean the outsole by wiping away any dust or debris. Ensure the court surface is not excessively dusty or wet.

Material creasing on leather overlays

Natural creasing can occur with wear. To minimize, avoid sharply bending the toe box when not in motion and use a shoe tree for storage.

Compatibility:

Care:
