Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to better accommodate your foot's width and arch. New shoes may also require a brief break-in period.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the sole, or by general wear. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath, and letting both the insole and shoe dry completely. If the squeak persists, check the outsole for any loose parts or debris.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For deeper cleaning or stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or cleaner following its specific instructions. Always brush in one direction.
Wipe these areas with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Gently rub in small circular motions, then wipe clean with a fresh, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

To protect the suede, you can use a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and nubuck. Apply it evenly according to the product's instructions before the first wear and reapply periodically.
The visible Air Max unit in the heel contains pressurized air that provides lightweight cushioning and impact absorption. It's designed to reduce the force of impact during walking, offering a comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.
