Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper material

Natural creasing is expected with use; to minimize, use a shoe tree when not wearing.

Chrome overlays showing minor scuffs

Gently buff with a soft, dry cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners.

Ensure laces are not overtightened; if issues persist, verify that you are wearing the correct UK size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, order your standard UK shoe size for the optimal fit, as these follow a standard sizing scale.

Care Instructions:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and rubber outsole.
  2. Spot Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals on the chrome-finish overlays to prevent fading or damage.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam.
  4. Air Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally; never expose them to direct heat sources like heaters or radiators.
