Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Try the footwear on carefully before returning. Note that box or label sizes may differ from UK sizing. Refer to the size guide or try in-store if possible.

Suede appears dirty or marked

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely.

Sole grip seems reduced

Clean the natural rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
