Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still snug, try loosening the laces and wearing them for short periods to allow them to break in. For wider feet, consider alternative models with a wider fit option.

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for light marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or follow specialized suede cleaning guides, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh material is discolored

Gently clean the mesh with a slightly damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals.

Color transfer from suede

This can occur when suede is wet. It is advisable to avoid wearing the shoes in wet conditions. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected area immediately according to suede cleaning guidelines.

Care:

  • Suede: Use a suede brush to clean away dry dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water exposure, as it can stain and damage suede. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry away from direct heat.
  • Mesh: Spot clean mesh areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the material.
  • General Cleaning: Do not machine wash. For overall cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
