Can I wear these in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder or a leather conditioner inside the shoe where the squeak originates.
Leather scuffs or minor scratches
For light scuffs, try buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color leather shoe polish or cream and apply with a soft cloth, buffing gently.
Laces becoming worn or frayed
Replace worn laces with a new pair of flat or round laces of a similar length and color. Ensure the new laces are durable.
Suede becoming matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a suede cleaner may be required, following the product instructions carefully.
