Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Verify your UK shoe size. Consider trying on a pair if possible, as fit can vary slightly between models. Ensure the laces are adjusted appropriately for a snug but comfortable fit.
Nubuck material looks dirty or scuffed
Use a dedicated nubuck eraser or a soft brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult specialized nubuck cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.
Outsole appears to be yellowing
This can be a natural aging process for translucent outsoles. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth may help. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can accelerate yellowing. Specialized 'sole brighteners' can be used by experienced users, but proceed with caution.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear. Ensure you are using the correct size to minimize undue stress on the leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape and reduce deep creases.
