Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the toe box excessively.
Squeaking sound
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes, powdering the insole or the inside of the shoe can help reduce friction.
Discoloration of white leather
Clean immediately with a sneaker cleaner. Protect the shoes from harsh elements and consider using a protective spray.
