Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying different sizes if possible, as shoe fit can vary slightly between models.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.

Discoloration of the 'Light Brown' finish

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather care products designed for light-colored leather.

Sole feels stiff initially

The EVA midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
