Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or stains on the beige fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild detergent to gently lift the stain from the canvas material.
Soles feeling slippery on smooth surfaces
Wipe the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris that may be impacting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you wear socks of an appropriate thickness to match your usual size 8.5 UK fit. The shoes are compatible with various lacing styles, allowing you to customize the tension across the midfoot. To maintain the integrity of the beige fabric, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or discolouration.
