Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
The oversized rope laces can be slippery; ensure a tight double knot to maintain tension.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases.
Outsole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small pebbles caught in the pivot circles and remove them to restore grip.

To ensure your Air Force 1 trainers remain in optimal condition:
- Sizing: These shoes generally fit true to size. Ensure you wear appropriate socks to gauge your fit during your initial try-on.
