Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have tried the shoes on properly. Note that the box or label may show US/Euro sizing which differs from UK sizing. If still incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size or consult the brand's sizing chart.
Suede appears dull or stained
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, try a suede eraser. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole grip is reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively slippery.
