Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists, consider using shoe stretchers or consult a professional shoe fitter. Note that this specific model is a UK Size 8.
Reflective material is losing its shine
Ensure you are cleaning the reflective areas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents.
Visible Air unit appears deflated
The visible Air unit is designed for cushioning and aesthetics; it is not meant to be a rigid, inflated structure. Minor compression during wear is normal. If there is a significant leak or damage, this would indicate a defect.
Mesh material is dirty
Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Care:
