What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Refer to the adidas sizing chart and compare with your current footwear. Consider the width of your feet. If possible, try them on in-store or check customer reviews regarding fit.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the ankle strap is adjusted for optimal comfort and support.

Material creasing

Creasing is natural for leather-like materials, especially with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage when not in use.
