Tips

For the best fit, consider sizing down 1-2 EU sizes from your street shoe, as the suede upper will stretch slightly. The unlined forefoot offers excellent breathability and sensitivity, while the Pacific lining in the heel prevents slippage. To extend the life of the rubber sole, avoid walking on abrasive surfaces and store the shoes away from direct sunlight.
