FAQs
What does NOCTA represent?

What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from pebbled black leather.
How do the University Gold accents appear?

How should I clean the leather?
Gently wipe the leather with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the material and its finish.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels tight or narrow
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially or consider professional stretching if discomfort persists. For immediate relief, ensure you have selected the correct UK size from the available options.
Reflective elements not as bright
Ensure the 3M reflective surfaces are clean. Dirt or smudges can obscure their reflectivity. Gently wipe them with a dry microfiber cloth.
Sole feels stiff initially
The cushioning and sole unit may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Care:
- Cleaning Uppers: Gently wipe the pebbled leather with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather and reflective materials.
