FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature Air Max cushioning, the TL 2.5 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not recommended for dedicated long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.
Does the leather upper require special treatment?
It is recommended to use a standard leather protectant spray to repel water and stains, keeping the leather supple over time.
How does the sizing run?
The Air Max TL 2.5 typically fits true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer a half-size up to account for the structured leather construction.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, which provides a balance of durability, support, and classic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Feeling too tight initially
The leather upper will relax and stretch slightly with use. Ensure you are wearing the correct size and allow for a 2-3 day break-in period.
Difficulty cleaning the Air unit
Use a cotton swab dipped in mild soapy water to gently wipe the crevices of the Air Max unit, then dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max TL 2.5 remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the leather. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Break-in: Because of the leather construction, wear them for short periods during the first week to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.
- Compatibility: The neutral colour palettes available in the series allow these to integrate seamlessly into most casual men's wardrobes.
