Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Consider wearing them with thinner socks initially.
Suede appears dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Traction feels unusual
The split outsole design is intentional. Allow a few wears to adapt to the feel. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect grip.
