Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to find a comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size, referring to the brand's sizing chart.
Discoloration on leather or suede
For leather, try a mild leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush. Avoid using water on suede unless absolutely necessary and use specialized products.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The sole will become more flexible with use.
