FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy exercise?
While they offer great cushioning for walking, they are designed as lifestyle trainers. For high-intensity sports, we recommend specialized performance gear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the seal of the Max Air units. Always clean by hand.
How should I clean the white midsole area?
A magic eraser sponge or a mixture of warm water and mild detergent on a cloth works best for scuffs on the foam midsole.
Do these run true to size?
The Air Max Tuned 1 series typically fits true to size. If you prefer to wear thick winter socks, some users find sizing up by a half size more comfortable.
What is the purpose of the arch piece on the midsole?
The plastic arch provides torsional support, preventing the shoe from twisting during movement and maintaining structural stability.
Troubleshooting
Toggle lace mechanism feels stiff
Apply a tiny drop of silicone-based lubricant to the internal spring if it becomes difficult to slide, though typically simply cleaning debris from the toggle housing restores function.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and minimize permanent creases over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max Tuned 1 Utility trainers maintain their performance and look, start by adjusting the toggle lace system to your preferred tension without overtightening, which can restrict circulation. Since these are constructed with leather, it is important to avoid submersion in water. If they become dirty, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the leather surface and let them air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can crack the material. For the midsole and outsole, a soft-bristled brush can be used to remove stubborn dirt trapped in the tread.
