The shoes are designed for a regular fit. However, sizing can vary between individuals. It is recommended to consult sizing charts or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Clean gently with a suede eraser or cleaner specifically designed for the color.
