Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Natural creasing can occur with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Yellowing of midsole or Air unit
Exposure to UV light and oxidation can cause yellowing over time, especially on older models. Clean gently with a specialized shoe cleaner. For significant yellowing, consider professional restoration.
Laces wear out
Replace laces with standard athletic shoelaces of similar length and material. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
