Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather and suede can stretch slightly over time with wear. Wear with appropriate socks to aid break-in.
Scuffs or marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the material. For stubborn dirt, a specialized suede cleaner may be required, used sparingly.
Gum sole discoloration
Some natural yellowing or darkening of gum rubber can occur over time. Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
