Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement. Refer to adidas sizing charts for guidance. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a different size, if available.

Use a dedicated suede cleaner and brush. For minor scuffs, a clean pencil eraser can sometimes help. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
