Troubleshooting

Sizing is incorrect.

Consult the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. If purchased online, check the return policy for exchanges.

Shoe feels uncomfortable after initial wear.

Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure socks are appropriate for athletic footwear to prevent friction.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.

While the gum outsole provides good traction, wet surfaces inherently reduce grip for all footwear. Exercise caution when walking on wet or slippery ground.

White upper shows dirt easily.

Regular cleaning as per the care instructions will help maintain the appearance. Consider using protective sprays designed for footwear if frequent exposure to dirt is expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The design is compatible with casual and athletic attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks on mesh and leather, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe the foam midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For the gum outsole, a slightly stiffer brush might be needed for stubborn dirt, but avoid abrasive materials.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their condition. A shoe tree can help preserve the shape.
