Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on gloss leather
Gently buff the area with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent scuffs, use a neutral shoe polish designed for patent or gloss leather and buff to a shine.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Laces becoming dirty or frayed
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or machine wash on a gentle cycle. Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar length and material.
Loss of shine on the gloss finish
Apply a specialized gloss or patent leather polish with a soft cloth and buff to restore the shine. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
