Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Refer to the adidas sizing chart for the Crazy 97 EQT model. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or ensure accurate foot measurement before purchasing online. As these are retro models, sizing may vary slightly from contemporary fits.

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage. Avoid over-tightening laces.
