Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consider the standard sizing variations between shoe models and brands. Check if the laces are adjusted properly for a snug fit without being too tight.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a matching colored polish. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help prevent excessive creasing.
Foam midsole shows signs of wear
The sculpted foam is part of the design. For general maintenance, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
