Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you have tried them on with appropriate socks. Consider if a different size from the available range might be more suitable.
Discoloration of white materials
Yellowing or discoloration can occur over time. Clean regularly with a mild cleaning solution. For persistent yellowing on rubber soles, a specialized sole cleaner might help.

Ensure the waffle grooves on the sole are free from debris. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the rubber has significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.
