Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size was purchased. Check that socks are not too thick. Allow for a short break-in period, as leather can soften over time. If discomfort persists, consider resizing.
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair cream in a matching color. For general marks, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner as per care instructions.
Soles feel slippery or lack grip.
Clean the rubber soles thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that might be reducing traction. Check the sole tread for excessive wear; if the tread is worn smooth, the shoes may need replacing.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally for separate airing. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are changed daily.

- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and a small amount of mild soap with water to scrub dirt and grime from the sole. Rinse thoroughly.
