Troubleshooting
Discoloration of corduroy material
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding excessive moisture. Test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
Visible Air Max unit appears cloudy
This is often a cosmetic issue from the manufacturing process and typically does not affect performance. If significantly compromised, contact customer support.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Moisture trapped between layers or a loose component can cause squeaking. Ensure the shoe is dry. If the issue persists, consider a professional shoe repair.
Laces fraying easily
Replace laces with a durable alternative. When washing, use a garment bag to protect them in the washing machine.
