FAQs
Are these shoes good for running?
These are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they are not optimized for long-distance running or track sports.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the Air unit. Always clean them by hand.
What is the Air unit made of?
The Air unit is a pressurized gas-filled membrane designed for cushioning and impact absorption.
Do these run true to size?
Most users find that the Air Max 270 runs true to size, though they have a snug, supportive fit.
Are they waterproof?
No, they are made of fabric and mesh materials that are porous, so they will not keep feet dry in heavy rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot technique or replace with elastic laces if the wearer has difficulty tying them.
Visible scuffs on the foam midsole
Use a specialized foam cleaner or a magic eraser sponge to gently buff out surface marks.
Air unit looking cloudy
This is often surface oxidation or minor scratching; a soft microfiber cloth can gently polish the exterior of the air unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 270 trainers last, keep the following tips in mind:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff; wear them for short periods around the house before using them for full days.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt from the foam midsole and upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the upper material from fading.
- Protection: Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for synthetic fabrics to protect against light stains and debris.
