Troubleshooting

Discomfort or poor fit

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust the fit. For persistent discomfort, consult sizing charts or try a different model.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the gum outsole offers good traction, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.

Material scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on leather, a leather cleaner or conditioner can be used. For mesh, gentle spot cleaning is recommended. Use appropriate shoe care products for the materials.
