Troubleshooting
Sizing is incorrect
Ensure you have ordered the correct UK size. Consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements if unsure about fit.
Leather appears stiff initially
Leather often requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Conditioning the leather with a suitable product can also help soften it.
Discoloration or marks on the leather
Clean gently with a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Protect the shoes from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Tread wear on the rubber outsole
Normal wear and tear on the outsole is expected with use. For significant wear, consider professional shoe repair if the shoes are otherwise in good condition.
