Troubleshooting
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet.
Color transfer from 'Volt' material
Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored socks or fabrics, especially when new or wet, as some color transfer may occur initially.
Sole feels too firm
The Air Tailwind 79 features a classic construction. Ensure you are using them for intended lifestyle wear rather than demanding athletic activities where more advanced cushioning might be preferred.
