FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor court use?
While primarily designed for performance, the durable outsole offers good grip on various surfaces, though longevity may vary on abrasive outdoor concrete.
Do the Ja 3 EP 'Explorer' trainers run true to size?
The trainers generally follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they feature a performance-focused secure fit, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room.
How should I clean the fabric parts of the shoe?
Spot clean using a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that might fade the green and red colours.
Can I use custom orthotics with this shoe?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
These are designed as trainers for court sports and lifestyle wear, so they may lack the specific heel-to-toe drop required for long-distance running.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during movement
Ensure the laces are tied using a heel-lock technique to secure the ankle more firmly.
Material scuffing after outdoor use
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a soft brush to gently remove surface debris before it sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ja 3 EP 'Explorer' trainers, keep them stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If the exterior synthetic materials become soiled, gently wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the internal support layers. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension each time you put them on to maintain the integrity of the heel collar and support structure.
