Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Try wearing the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Check if the lacing is too tight and adjust as needed.
Iridescent finish appears dull or damaged
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. For significant damage, contact customer support.
Reduced grip on court surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive dirt or debris. Court surface conditions can also affect grip; clean the soles after each use.
BOOST cushioning feels less responsive over time
BOOST cushioning is designed for durability, but performance can be affected by heavy use. Ensure the shoes are not consistently exposed to extreme temperatures.
