Are these shoes true to size?

Troubleshooting
Visible creases forming in the toe box
Creasing is natural for leather shoes. Use a shoe tree consistently when not wearing the shoes to help retain shape and mitigate deep folds.
Midsole showing slight discolouration
Clean the midsole gently using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the paint or material.

- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dust accumulation. Use a specialized sneaker cleaner for stubborn spots.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or yellowing of the midsole.

- Support: Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original shape and prevent deep creasing in the toe box.
