Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash by hand with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Leather scuffs or marks
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish may help restore the finish.
Sole losing grip
Ensure the sole grooves are clear of debris. If wear is significant, professional assessment may be needed.
