Troubleshooting
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Squeaking sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between sole layers or on smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and dry. If the issue persists, it may require professional inspection.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, a leather cleaner or conditioner appropriate for white leather can be used. Store shoes properly to minimize creasing when not in use.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Air Max cushioning is designed for longevity but can diminish over extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not overused for high-impact activities beyond their intended scope.
