Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound during wear

This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try inserting a powder or talc into the shoe or wear thicker socks.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Discoloration of gold accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

Reduced cushioning over time

While Air Max technology is durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance.
