Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable.
Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Use thicker socks to help stretch the leather, or use a shoe stretcher.
Leather is scuffed or scratched.
Use a leather polish or cream in a matching color to cover minor scratches. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair.
Stitching is coming undone.
If the stitching is minor, try to reinforce it yourself with a needle and thread. For significant damage, take the boots to a shoe repair shop.
Sole is slippery.
Clean the sole regularly with soap and water to remove any dirt or debris that may reduce traction. Consider a sole grip product for extra traction.
