Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Discoloration on the synthetic upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using colored cloths that might transfer dye. If discoloration persists, consult the care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods.
