Troubleshooting
Laces fraying quickly
Replace with durable skate-specific laces. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause unnecessary stress.
Reduced cushioning after heavy use
The Air Max unit is designed for longevity, but extreme use can impact performance over time. Consider replacing the shoes if cushioning is significantly diminished.
Denim material feels stiff
The denim may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Gentle flexing can also help.
Poor grip on the board
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. The tread pattern is designed for grip; accumulated dirt can reduce effectiveness.
