Troubleshooting
Reebok Pump not inflating
Ensure the lace closure is properly positioned. If the Pump feels stiff, try gently wiggling the lace area. If it still does not inflate, there may be a system issue requiring professional assessment.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is normal with leather footwear. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a cream polish matching the shoe's color. Avoid excessive flexing of the shoe to minimize creasing.
Discomfort or poor fit
Adjust the fit using the Reebok Pump system for a tighter feel. Ensure the laces are tied correctly. If discomfort persists, the shoe's sizing or shape may not be suitable for your foot type.
