Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are used and lace securely. For a looser fit, reduce tension in the lacing. Consider the use of thicker or thinner socks.
Discomfort in the heel area
Ensure the shoe is laced properly to secure the heel. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, the sizing may not be optimal. Consult the sizing chart to verify your correct UK size.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with soap and water to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
Leather upper looks dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a dedicated leather shoe cream with a soft cloth to moisturize and protect the leather. For scuffs, try a matching color shoe polish.
