Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to Nike's official sizing chart and compare with your usual shoe size. Consider the hybrid nature of the shoe, which may affect fit.

Leather creasing

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively.

Color transfer

In rare cases, darker colors might transfer onto lighter socks. Ensure socks are properly dyed and consider a protective spray for the sneakers.
