Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Color transfer from blue to white areas
This can occur with new shoes. Ensure the blue dye is fully set by avoiding prolonged contact with light-colored socks or surfaces when damp. Consider a leather protectant spray.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a similar style or material. Keep them clean and avoid excessive friction.
