Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Use the ankle strap to adjust the fit. Wearing thinner socks might also provide more room.
Discoloration on the white leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Air bubble appears deflated
The visible Air unit is sealed. If it appears deflated or damaged, it may be a sign of wear. Gentle cleaning is advised; significant deflation may indicate a need for replacement.
