Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, the leather may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for short durations initially.

Laces are difficult to tie securely

The cross-lacing system is designed for ease of putting on; standard knotting techniques should work. If they consistently come undone, try a double knot.

Graphics appear to be fading

Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions.
