Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your foot.
Suede material looks matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Follow up with a suede protector.
Printed teacup pattern is fading.
Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning agents on the printed areas. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the sole treads are clean from debris. If the slipperiness persists on smooth surfaces, consider the natural limitations of the tread pattern.
