Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size based on your foot measurement. Consider the sock-like fit; it should be snug but not constricting. If unsure, compare measurements with the size chart or consult retailer sizing guides.
Discoloration on neoprene or textile areas
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean affected areas gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
TPU 3-Stripes appear creased
Minor creasing can occur with wear. Avoid excessive pressure or folding in the area. Store shoes upright or with shoe trees to maintain shape.
