Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing on the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape.
Difficulty keeping the laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and consider a double knot if the laces feel too slick.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt and small stones from the grooves of the gum rubber tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size. Since these trainers feature a leather exterior, avoid submerging them in water. Clean them by wiping with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain the material's suppleness. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. To maintain the structural integrity, consider using shoe trees when the trainers are not being worn.
