FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, the strategic traction pattern is designed for reliability across various court surfaces, though indoor use will prolong the life of the outsole.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular maintenance. For persistent stains, use a dedicated leather cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush.
Can I use custom orthotics with these?
The trainers feature a standard fit, but the insoles are removable, which typically allows for the insertion of most standard custom orthotics.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Jordan Tatum line generally follows standard adult sizing, but as they are performance shoes, a snug fit is recommended.
How often should I replace these for performance use?
Depending on the intensity and frequency of play, look for signs of wear in the tread pattern or a noticeable reduction in cushioning responsiveness, typically every 6-12 months of heavy use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Leather will stretch slightly over time; wear them for short durations or during light drills initially to break them in gradually.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole reduces grip
Wipe the outsole with a damp towel before and during court sessions to restore the original level of traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace the trainers securely to take full advantage of the internal support structures. When sizing, consider that these are standard adult fits, but leather materials may take 1-2 sessions to mold fully to your foot. To care for your trainers, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after every use to remove dust and sweat. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the cushioning foam. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
