Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you are comparing against the UK sizing standard. If still uncomfortable, consider using thicker or thinner socks, or consult Nike's official size guide for conversion accuracy.

Glossy finish appears dull or scratched

Use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically designed for glossy finishes. Apply gently with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools.

Pink color appears to be fading

Store the sneakers away from direct sunlight. Clean using only mild, approved leather cleaners and avoid excessive exposure to moisture.

Creasing on the leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid overly bending the shoe during wear.
