Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using a shoe stretcher for minor adjustments or breaking them in with thicker socks.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Avoid overtightening laces to reduce strain.
Slight discoloration on leather or suede
Use a specialized leather or suede cleaner and a soft brush. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.
