Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If they are new, they may need a short break-in period. Wearing them with thinner socks can also help initially.
Uneven wear on the sole
Check your gait and walking pattern. If the wear is significant and uneven, it might indicate a need for professional advice on footwear or orthotics.
Discoloration of the grey material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate leather/suede cleaners and protectants as per care instructions.
