Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with different socks or for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris, restoring grip.
Leather shows minor scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a professional leather repair service may be considered.
