Troubleshooting

Slight creasing on leather areas

This is normal wear for leather. To minimize, use a shoe tree when not in use and avoid over-flexing the shoe.

Reduced cushioning over time

While Max Air is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear for longevity.

Discoloration on lighter materials

Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean affected areas promptly with appropriate cleaners for the material type.
