Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the size is correct, as improper fit is a primary cause of discomfort.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth surfaces.
The siped outsole is designed for improved grip, but performance can vary on extremely polished or wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris, which can impede traction.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking.
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically formulated for full-grain leather. This will help restore moisture and flexibility to the material. Avoid over-drying the shoes.
Stains on the leather exterior.
For minor stains, try a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
