Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Verify your foot measurements against Nike's sizing chart. Consider the materials might need a short break-in period.
Leather creases easily
This is natural for leather. To minimize creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Sole feels stiff
The sole is designed for durability and support. Wear the shoes regularly for a short period to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Color transfer from blue to white areas
Ensure shoes are dry before wear. If color transfer occurs, gently clean the affected white area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
