Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Suede material looks dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaning product and follow its instructions carefully.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Try a double knot when tying the laces. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, more grippy laces.
