Troubleshooting
Pump mechanism feels ineffective
Ensure the lace closure is secure and verify that the air release valve is fully closed before attempting to pump again.
Surface scuffing on iridescent leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner applied lightly with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing which can remove the iridescent coating.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Ensure the Pump bladder is fully deflated by pressing the release valve to allow for maximum opening width of the collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first loosen the laces completely and slide your foot in. Once the shoe is on, use the Pump button on the tongue to inflate the internal bladder until it feels snug against your ankle; use the release valve to deflate if it becomes too tight. Since the upper is constructed from leather with iridescent accents, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners. Instead, wipe down the leather sections with a soft, damp cloth and use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the iridescent collar and tongue elements to preserve their sheen. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the iridescent finish from fading.
