What is the heel height of these sneakers?

How does the fit generally run?

The shoes are designed with a classic court fit. It is recommended to refer to sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary by individual foot shape.

Can I wear these with socks?

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose or slip

Ensure laces are tied securely using a standard knot. If the laces themselves are slippery, consider replacing them with cotton or textured laces.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, use a matching color leather balm or polish, buffing gently.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction but can still be slippery on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. For significantly slippery conditions, consider walking more cautiously.
