What is the outsole made of?

Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to tie or adjust.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and the eyelets are clear of debris. Practice the wrap-around technique; it may take a few tries to find the most comfortable method for your foot.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Clean the surface with a damp cloth. For scuffs, use a suitable leather polish and buff with a soft cloth until the shine is restored. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces slightly and re-adjust for a more comfortable fit. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations initially can help.
