The upper of this particular model is made from leather, providing a premium look and feel.
How do I know if my UK 12 size will fit?
Generally, adidas sizing is consistent. However, for the most accurate fit, it is recommended to consult the brand's official size chart or try them on if possible, as individual foot shapes can vary.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?

What does 'Wild Teal' mean in the description?

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize extreme creasing. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Sole appears dirty and difficult to clean
Use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush or old toothbrush. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
