Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. Many users find it helpful to measure their foot length and compare it to the chart. If unsure between sizes, consider the typical fit of similar athletic shoes you own.
Initial stiffness
New trainers, especially those with classic construction, can feel stiff at first. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Gentle flexing can also help.
Color transfer (rare)
In rare cases, dark dyes may transfer to lighter socks, especially when wet. Ensure socks are appropriately colored or allow shoes to dry fully before extended wear with light-colored socks.
