Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole to see if it resolves. Ensure no debris is trapped between sole layers.

Leather scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with a similar style or color from a reputable shoe care provider. Ensure new laces are the correct length.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Wear with appropriate socks. For initial break-in, use thicker socks or consider using heel grips or insoles if slight adjustments are needed.
