Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have measured your feet correctly according to Nike's sizing guide. Consider the thickness of the socks you typically wear. If the fit is consistently off, explore exchanging for a different size or consult customer service for advice.
Creasing on the toe box
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. Avoid overly tight lacing, which can exacerbate creasing.
Discoloration or scuffs on materials
For scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner or a specialized shoe cleaner. For mesh or suede, use a suede eraser or a soft brush. Address spills or marks immediately to prevent permanent staining.
