Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for natural leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The rubber compound may perform differently on polished or wet surfaces.
Discoloration of the leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for oiled leather if needed.
Sizing feels incorrect
Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. Consult an adidas sizing chart for accurate conversions, as fit can vary.
