How do I determine the correct shoe size?
Measure your foot length from heel to toe and consult the provided EU size chart. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the larger one.

Gently wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution sparingly and dry naturally. Avoid machine washing.

Troubleshooting
Incorrect sizing received
Double-check the EU size ordered against the size chart and your foot measurement. If an error occurred during shipping, contact the seller with your order details.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
New athletic shoes, especially performance-oriented ones, may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you followed the sizing guide correctly.
Scuff marks on leather upper
For minor scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a specialized shoe eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing Guide:
To ensure the correct fit, it is essential to measure your foot length. Measure from the heel's most prominent point to the tip of the longest toe. If your measurement falls between two sizes, select the larger size. Note that individual foot shapes can vary, and a difference of up to 0.5 cm is considered normal.
Conversion: All product sizes are based on European (EU) sizing. Refer to the size chart for exact foot length (in cm) corresponding to each EU size. The 'CM' size on the shoebox or label does not directly represent foot length in centimeters.
Care Instructions:
As these are premium leather sneakers designed for performance, avoid harsh cleaning methods. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. It is not recommended to machine wash or submerge the shoes in water.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for athletic performance, particularly basketball, and also for casual wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
