Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to break in. Consider using shoe stretchers.

Scratches or scuffs appear on the leather.

Use a leather polish or cream of the appropriate color to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scuffs, consult a leather repair specialist.
