FAQs
Are these shoes actually meant for mountaineering?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While they feature an outdoor-inspired design, they lack the grip and structural support required for technical mountaineering.
Are they unisex?
Yes, this model is designed for a unisex fit, though they are often sized in standard adult categories.
How do I clean the decorative stitching?
Use a soft toothbrush dipped in mild soap and water to gently clean the stitching, taking care not to pull at the threads.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, you can replace the laces with any standard-length flat or oval laces to change the look, though keeping the original style maintains the authentic Mountaineering design.
Are the shoes true to size?
The Air Max 90 generally fits true to size. If you prefer a wider fit, some users suggest going up half a size, but standard sizing is typically recommended.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting the shoe on
Utilize the Total Orange webbing pull tabs on the tongue and heel to help guide your foot into the shoe comfortably.
Visible dirt on the mesh base
Use a dry, soft brush to gently lift debris, followed by a light cleaning with a damp cloth; do not soak the mesh.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape and minimize permanent creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Max 90s remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the mix of mesh and leather, avoid machine washing these shoes as it can damage the materials and glue bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and a specialized sneaker cleaning solution for the leather overlays. For the mesh sections, lightly dab with a damp microfiber cloth to avoid pushing dirt deeper into the fabric. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant Total Orange accents from fading over time.
