Troubleshooting

Sizing feels tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider trying on in-store if possible, or consult online sizing charts. For minor tightness, wearing thicker socks for a short period might help stretch the leather slightly.

Leather shows creases or scuffs

Minor creases are natural with leather wear. For scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a white shoe eraser. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help prevent premature wear.

Color transfer from socks

This can sometimes occur with new or dyed socks. Ensure socks are colorfast. If transfer occurs, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for leather.
