Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are slightly snug, wearing them with thin socks and allowing for a break-in period may help. For significant tightness, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.
Discoloration on white mesh
For light dirt, use a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels stiff
The shoe features a TRUSSTIC support system and GEL cushioning designed for stability. It may require a break-in period of regular wear to become more flexible. Avoid bending the shoe excessively.
