Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or cracked

Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Ensure the shoes are clean before application.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For increased grip on very smooth surfaces, consider professional sole treatments if necessary.
