Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods daily to gradually break them in. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Surface scuffs or marks appear
Gently buff the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, a matching color shoe polish or wax can be applied carefully.
Tassels become unraveled
Carefully attempt to smooth them back into place. If significant damage occurs, professional cobbler assistance may be required.
