Its excellent support ensures stability during quick directional changes, while the cushioning absorbs impact from jumps and landings, reducing strain on your feet and joints.

Squash players will appreciate the responsive feel for rapid sprints and abrupt stops. This shoe is built to enhance performance by providing a secure, comfortable, and grippy foundation for intense indoor court action.
Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for maximum ankle support. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet before engaging in intense play.
Surfaces: These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes wood, synthetic, and other typical indoor gym floors. They are not recommended for outdoor use, as abrasive outdoor surfaces can quickly degrade the outsole and reduce performance.
Sports: Ideal for badminton, volleyball, squash, and other similar indoor court sports requiring quick movements, jumps, and lateral agility.
Cleaning: Wipe down the upper and outsole with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a soft brush can be used gently.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's construction and materials.
