Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Consult Nike's official size guide for trainers. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider the specific fit of this model or explore different sizing options if available.
Traction feels slippery
The outsole is designed for casual wear. Ensure the surfaces you are walking on are not excessively wet or smooth. If the issue persists, check for any debris on the sole that might be affecting grip.
Material creasing
Some creasing is natural with leather and synthetic materials over time. To minimize this, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
