Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. Over time, the shoes may slightly stretch with wear.
Suede material scuffing or staining
Address scuffs immediately with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
GEL technology provides long-lasting cushioning, but performance can decrease with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage, typically between 300-500 miles, or when cushioning feels diminished.
Outsole wear
Normal wear and tear can occur on the outsole with regular use. If excessive wear is noticed, especially in critical grip areas, it may be time to consider replacement.
