Troubleshooting
Leather Creasing
Leather creasing is a natural process. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the shoe and minimize creasing.
Sole Wear
The AirWair™ sole is durable, but wear and tear is inevitable. Regular cleaning and care can prolong its life. Resole the shoe when necessary.
Discomfort During Break-in
Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time. Use thick socks or leather softener to ease the break-in process.
