Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider the specific fit characteristics of the XC-72 model, which may vary slightly.
Material scuffing or staining
For suede, use a suede eraser and brush. For fabric and rubber, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Traction seems reduced
Check the rubber sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the sole with water and a brush to restore grip. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
