Troubleshooting

Sizing feels too tight or loose

Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, consider exchanging for a different size, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Minor scuffs or marks on the upper

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For leather components, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
