Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness in the leather.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Discoloration of the grey color.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and use appropriate leather cleaners to maintain the color. Store them away from direct light when not in use.
Squeaking sound from the soles.
This can sometimes happen with new shoe soles. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe can sometimes help if the squeak is from the insole rubbing.
