Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try loosening the laces. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot. Refer to sizing guides or try a half-size up if possible.

Slipping sensation on certain surfaces

Check the outsole for debris or wear. Ensure the laces are tied securely. The 'hedgy' rubber outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions or heavily worn outsoles may reduce traction.

Discoloration on textiles

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Some natural fading may occur over time with regular use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers; no setup is required. Ensure you are trying them on a clean surface to avoid marking the outsole.

Compatibility: Designed for men's feet, specifically this pair is a UK size 12. They are suitable for casual wear, walking, and light training activities.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For the textile portions, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsoles and Outsoles: Use a brush or cloth with water to remove mud and debris. For stubborn marks, a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap can be effective.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
