Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially or remove the insole temporarily to create more space. Laces can be adjusted to loosen the fit around the ankle and midfoot.
Creasing on leather overlays
Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize visible creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the foot.
Discoloration on the outsole
The Safety Orange outsole may show dirt over time. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore its color.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the tongue rubbing against the interior or the insole shifting. Try adjusting the laces, ensuring the tongue is flat, or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

These sneakers are designed for adult males and are compatible with most casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and athletic wear. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of your Nike Dunk Highs:
- Cleaning the Uppers: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and canvas. For tougher stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
