What size is this guide for?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and the hook-and-loop strap. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new leather or rubber. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces and strap are not overly tightened.
Dirt on white leather
Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. New soles can sometimes be slick; light scuffing on a rough surface or a brief wear period can help improve traction.
