Does the red color bleed onto the white parts?

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure laces are properly adjusted. If still uncomfortable, consider that different Nike models can fit slightly differently. For future purchases, consult size charts or try on in-store if possible.

Leather creases easily

Creasing is natural for leather shoes. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Color transfer from red to white leather

This can occur with new or wet shoes. Allow shoes to dry completely. Avoid wearing in heavy rain. Using a leather protector spray might help.

Sole feels stiff initially

The rubber sole will become more flexible with wear. Break them in by wearing them for short periods initially.
