How do I determine if UK size 9.5 is the right fit?
Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip.

Leather can be prone to scuffs. Regular cleaning and using protective sprays can help maintain its appearance. The red color may show lighter marks more readily than darker colors.
What material is the shoe primarily made of?

Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern or tension. Ensure the knot is secure but not overly tight.
Leather creasing significantly
Some creasing is natural with leather. Proper fit and avoiding excessive bending can minimize this. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Traction feels reduced
Clean the waffle outsole with a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
