Troubleshooting

Laces loosening frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually. Check sock thickness and material for comfort.

Visible Air unit appears deflated or damaged

Inspect for punctures. Minor creases are normal. If significant deflation or damage is present, contact customer support for warranty information.

Reflective details losing their shine

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Prolonged exposure to harsh elements can degrade reflectivity over time.
