Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean from debris. The rubber compound is designed for grip, but very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce traction. Break-in period may also affect initial grip.
Discoloration of white leather
White leather can attract dirt. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild cleaner. Protectants specifically for leather can help repel stains.
