These shoes are designed for adults and are sized according to standard UK footwear measurements (this specific variant is UK 11).

Maintaining the premium leather and unique design of your 2002R Protection Pack shoes is key to their longevity and appearance:
Cleaning the Leather Upper: For light dirt and dust, gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains or accumulated grime, use a specialized leather cleaner specifically formulated for footwear. Apply the cleaner sparingly with a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions.
Cleaning Mesh and Outsole: Use a soft brush or old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the mesh underlays and the rubber outsole. Rinse thoroughly but avoid saturating the leather.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Conditioning (Leather): Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes get wet frequently.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
