Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially, and consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists. Leather will naturally stretch slightly over time.
Creasing on the leather
Some creasing is normal with leather shoes. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly bending the toe box.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or check if the laces are too tight.
Discoloration from scuffs
For minor scuffs on the leather, use a matching colored shoe polish or a specialized leather cleaner. For the purple accents, use care to avoid transferring color to white areas.
