Do these run true to size?
Most users find they run true to standard UK sizing, but it is always recommended to check a sizing guide if you are between sizes.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during first wear
The materials may need a brief break-in period; try wearing them for shorter durations initially or adjust the lacing tension.
Surface dirt on the grey suede panels

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no special setup; they are ready for wear right out of the box. To ensure a perfect fit, consult a sizing chart to match your standard UK adult size. For care, avoid machine washing to maintain the material finish. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the uppers. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a mild cleaning solution designed for athletic shoes, ensuring you do not soak the material. Always air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
