Refer to adidas' official sizing chart or try the shoes on if possible. UK sizing can differ from other international systems, so confirming your specific foot measurement against the chart is recommended.

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing significantly
Leather naturally creases with wear. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.
Slight discomfort upon first wear
New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For very slippery conditions, exercise caution.
Color transfer from the blue accents
While unlikely with proper manufacturing, if color transfer occurs, use a leather protector spray designed for the specific materials. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
