Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
The 'crater' foam and recycled materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will adapt to your foot's shape.
Difficulty lacing the shoes evenly.
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. Adjust the tension gradually from the bottom up for a balanced and secure fit.
Tread appears worn quickly.
The Nike Grind rubber outsole is designed for grip and durability. If rapid wear is observed, ensure you are not using the shoes for activities they are not intended for, such as aggressive sports or abrasive surfaces.
Discoloration or material change after cleaning.
Always use a damp cloth with minimal water and avoid harsh cleaning agents or heat. Air dry only. Refer to the specific care instructions for best results.
