Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try adjusting the lacing to accommodate your foot shape. If the size is fundamentally wrong, consider exchanging for a different size.
Suede material looks dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean off dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can help. Protect the suede with a waterproofing spray suitable for footwear.
Grip feels excessive on smooth indoor floors
The aggressive tread is designed for varied outdoor surfaces. For indoor use, be mindful of the traction; the grip should naturally lessen slightly with wear on smoother surfaces over time.
