Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise during walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a short period; the noise may dissipate. If persistent, check if any part of the sole or upper is rubbing unusually.

Flyknit material feels loose

Ensure the laces are tied appropriately for a snug fit. The nature of Flyknit provides flexibility, so a secure lacing system is key to maintaining a good fit.

Scuff marks on the clear midsole

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, consider specialized shoe cleaners designed for rubber or plastic components, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the Flyknit and leather components, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used on the leather parts. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the materials.
  • Midsole Care: The clear midsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the surface.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately if needed.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity and color.
