What material is the upper made of?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit, or explore lacing techniques to customize tightness.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear.

Avoid abrasive contact. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure proper drying away from heat.

Midsole feels less cushioned over time.

While designed for comfort, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider inserts if needed, though the shoe's primary design focuses on support.
