Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to Nike's official size guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to try on the shoes if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models.

Color transfer from socks

Ensure socks are colorfast, especially new ones. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected interior area gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize it, use shoe trees when storing and avoid overly bending the toes when walking.
