Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the Adaptive Fit strap to your personal comfort level. Ensure it is snug but not constricting movement or circulation.
Slipping inside the shoe
Verify you have the correct shoe size. Ensure laces are tied properly, and consider wearing athletic socks for better grip.
Reduced cushioning over time
While Zoom Air is durable, performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use of the shoe.
Traction feels less effective
Clean the outsole by removing any dirt or debris, as this can impede grip. For significantly worn outsoles, replacement may be necessary.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Nike KD 4 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
