Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to Nike's official size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure you are comparing UK sizing to your region's standard. If still unsure, try on a pair in-store if possible.
Color transfer from outsole to lighter surfaces
The Safety Orange outsole is designed to be vibrant. It's recommended to avoid wearing them on very light carpets or surfaces where color transfer might be a concern, especially when new or wet.
Leather overlays creasing
Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove the laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a gentle cycle. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
