Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic performance?

Troubleshooting
Tight fit
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider using thinner socks or a shoe stretcher if the tightness is minor.
Color transfer on socks
This can occur with new, darker colored footwear. It should reduce after a few wears. Consider wearing darker socks initially.
Creasing on upper
Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use.
