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.
