What does 'NOCTA' refer to?

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or balm. For deeper scuffs, a color-matched leather filler or polish might be necessary, applied carefully.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the Air unit is not punctured. Check for debris trapped under the sole. Over time, cushioning may naturally reduce; maintain good care to prolong its effectiveness.
Traction feels diminished
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the rubber has not excessively worn down.
Reflective elements appear dull
Ensure the surfaces are clean. Dirt or grime can obscure reflectivity. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch the 3M material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, suitable for a UK size 13 foot. These are primarily a lifestyle shoe and not intended for specific sporting compatibility beyond general athletic activities.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Gently wipe the pebbled leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable on accents): Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly.
