Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still off, consider using thinner or thicker socks, or explore aftermarket insoles for minor adjustments. For significant fit issues, consult the retailer regarding exchanges.
Stitching appears to be fraying
Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the threads. If fraying is significant, it may indicate excessive wear or a manufacturing defect; contact the retailer.
Denim material looks dirty or stained
Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult specialized denim cleaning guides or professional shoe cleaners. Avoid washing the entire shoe.
