Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Max Air cushioning is designed for durability but may naturally decrease in responsiveness with extensive use. Regular cleaning can help maintain material integrity.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the insole and midsole or between different parts of the outsole. Ensure shoes are dry and check if the insole is properly seated.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Follow the specific care instructions for leather and mesh to maintain color.
