Troubleshooting
Laces don't feel secure
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the lace cage and tightened evenly. Consider re-lacing if the pattern is uneven.
Leather creasing quickly
Creasing is natural with leather. Proper lacing and storage with shoe trees can help minimize excessive creasing. Avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking.
Color transfer from blue to white areas
This can occur with new sneakers. Allow the shoe to air out, and avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored socks or fabrics until the color stabilizes. Clean with appropriate leather cleaners if necessary.
