Troubleshooting
Pump system not inflating
Ensure the pump mechanism is not obstructed. Gently press the pump button repeatedly. If persistent, contact customer support.
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions. If it persists, check for any loose components or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discoloration on Azure accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean with a damp cloth only and ensure the shoe is completely dry before storing.
Uncomfortable fit
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Utilize the Reebok Pump system for a customized fit. Consider using athletic socks for added comfort and support.
