FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Indoor/outdoor ball?
Composite leather handles both. Pure indoor balls shred on concrete; pure outdoor rubber feels like a brick indoors. A composite is the one-ball answer.
Mid or high tops?
For most players, mid. High tops add ankle support but limit mobility; lows favor speed. Ankle health comes from strength, not shoe height.
Are grip socks worth it?
Yes — they stop the foot sliding inside the shoe that causes blisters and rolled ankles. A cheap upgrade that actually matters.
How to break in shoes?
Wear them around the house a few days, then light shooting, then a game. Soles need to flex; jumping straight into a game invites blisters.

Ball-sport conditioning overlaps swim training — ankle support is strength, not shoe height. Agreed.
Pickup basketball and tennis share the court-shoe religion — grip socks stopping in-shoe slide is a real call. Good starter.
