Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to your preference. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct shoe size. The Flyknit upper offers some flexibility, but proper sizing is key.
Squeaking sound during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a short period to break them in. Ensure laces are tied appropriately. If the squeaking is from the sole, check for any debris trapped between the layers.
Deterioration of Flyknit material
Avoid snagging the Flyknit on rough surfaces. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Do not machine wash or dry.
