Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Leather naturally creases with wear. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Sole feels stiff initially
The Air unit and sole may require a brief break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
Dirt marks on reflective details
Gently wipe the reflective 3M detailing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, which could damage the reflective coating.
