Troubleshooting

Shoes appear wrinkled

Linen naturally wrinkles. This is part of its character. For minor creases, a cool iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth can be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Otherwise, embrace the natural texture.

Felt insole feels damp

Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from heat. Ensure they are not stored in a humid environment.

Color transfer from leather trim

This can occur especially when new or if exposed to excessive moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider using a leather protectant spray suitable for calf leather and suede, testing first in an inconspicuous area.

Slight stiffness in new shoes

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The leather-wrapped footbed and calf leather accents will gradually conform to your foot shape.
