Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the issue persists, consider that sizing can vary slightly between individuals. For this specific UK 16 size, ensure it is the correct size for your foot.
Material scuffing or marks
Gently clean affected areas with a damp cloth for minor marks. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush. Test any cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort after extended wear
Check lacing for proper support. While the adiPRENE sole provides cushioning, ensure the overall fit is correct for your foot type. Break-in periods may be necessary for new footwear.
