Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to Nike's sizing charts for accurate measurements. The fit may feel snug initially due to the leather construction and is designed to break in over time.

Leather creasing

Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather shoes. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Color transfer from orange to white areas

While unlikely with proper care, excessive moisture or friction could potentially lead to color transfer. Ensure shoes are dry and avoid prolonged contact with materials that could bleed color. Clean any initial marks promptly.
