Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing thinner socks or allow for a break-in period. Ensure the UK 5.5 size is the correct fit for your foot measurements.

Suede material shows water stains

Allow to dry naturally. Use a suede eraser and brush to restore the texture. Apply a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Tread wear on the outsole
