Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Ensure you are comparing with the correct sizing chart (UK sizing). Measure your foot length and compare it with the product's size guide. Consider the intended fit - snug for performance, slightly looser for casual wear.

Discoloration on materials

For light dirt or scuffs, try a gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized cleaner for leather and synthetic materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces wear out quickly

Inspect laces regularly. If they show signs of fraying, they can be easily replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
