Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe cream. Address scuffs promptly to prevent them from setting.
Soles becoming dirty
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Shoelaces fraying
Replace frayed shoelaces with new ones of a similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress.
