Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle and midfoot. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's structure is not compatible with your foot shape.
Creasing on the upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on synthetic materials like Durabuck. To minimize creasing, avoid excessive flexing when not worn by using shoe trees. Store them upright.
Visible Air unit appears deflated or damaged
Inspect the visible Air unit for any punctures or leaks. If damage is found, it may compromise cushioning. Contact the retailer or Nike customer service for potential warranty claims if the shoes are still under warranty.
Reflective details losing reflectivity
Reflective materials can degrade over time with excessive cleaning or exposure to harsh conditions. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing on the reflective parts. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
The Nike Air More Uptempo comes ready to wear. Ensure they fit correctly by lacing them to your preferred tightness. The lacing system is designed to provide a secure lockdown.
Compatibility:
These shoes are primarily designed for adult males. Sizing information is typically based on UK men's foot measurements. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the Durabuck upper. Avoid excessive water.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a mild soap solution and a cloth or brush to clean the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
