Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, the leather may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using a shoe stretcher for persistent tightness.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing them. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides reliable traction, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris.
