How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided by adidas. It is often recommended to try them on in-store if possible, as fit can be subjective.

These shoes are primarily made with leather, providing a premium look and feel.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to condition every few months, or whenever the leather appears dry.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mould to your feet.
Leather appears dry or shows minor creases.
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions. Gently rub it in with a soft cloth and allow it to absorb.
Scuffs or marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or a leather eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Most shoe stores or online retailers offer replacement laces.
