Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• A tip from our fitting experience: the Authentic 44 LX fits true to size for most foot shapes.
• The low-profile toe box provides a close, classic fit that breaks in comfortably after initial wear.
• If you prefer a roomier fit or plan to insert orthotic insoles, consider selecting half a size up.
• Unpadded collar construction allows total flexibility and zero restriction around the ankle.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Clean surface dust and debris from the herringbone fabric using a soft textile brush.
• Spot clean stubborn stains gently with cold water and mild liquid detergent.
• Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as excess heat can weaken the vulcanised rubber binder.
• Allow to dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight and radiators.
