Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For minor tightness, wearing thicker socks or using a shoe stretcher might help. For looseness, consider using insoles or thicker socks.
White leather becoming discolored or stained.
Clean immediately with a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive materials. Apply a leather protector spray regularly.
Translucent sole becoming yellowed.
Yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation. Try cleaning with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution and sunlight (ensure sole is clean and dry first), but results may vary.
3M reflective material losing reflectivity.
Reflectivity can diminish with excessive wear and tear or exposure to harsh cleaning agents. Handle with care during cleaning and avoid excessive abrasion.
