Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. If the noise persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole or try a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The Crater Foam and Zoom Air cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. For significant degradation, consider replacing the shoes if they have seen heavy use.
Discoloration of the marbled Swoosh
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.
