While this specific listing is for men's sizing, the Knu Skool style is often worn by all genders. Please refer to specific product listings for available sizing and gender designations.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in process.
Soles losing grip
Clean the waffle outsole with a stiff brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris, which can affect traction.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to address scuffs and maintain the leather's appearance. For deeper marks, professional leather care may be needed.
