Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have tried the shoes on with appropriate socks. Refer to Nike's official sizing charts for accurate measurements and compare with your foot size. If still unsure, consider trying a half-size up or down.
Leather creasing excessively
Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when storing the shoes. Avoid bending the shoes sharply during wear.
Color transfer from purple overlays
Initial wear, especially in wet conditions, may cause slight color transfer. Wear with darker socks initially, and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If transfer occurs on lighter clothing, clean the clothing according to its care label.
Sole feels stiff
The sole will soften and become more flexible with regular wear. Break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.
