Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Mesh upper feels stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the Air unit is durable, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Proper care can help maintain material integrity.

Mudguard scuff marks

Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials may be used carefully.
