Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider wearing thinner socks or allowing a break-in period if the shoes are new. If the issue persists, they may not be the right fit for your foot.
Soles are slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for casual grip. For increased traction on very slick surfaces, consider using an aftermarket insole or sole grips if available.
Color transfer from the shoe
In rare cases, new dyed materials can transfer color. Wear with caution until the color has stabilized, especially with lighter colored socks. Avoid prolonged contact with delicate fabrics when wet.
