Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and allow the leather to naturally stretch. Consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness persists.
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated pony hair cleaner and a damp cloth, following product instructions carefully.
Soles are dirty
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Leather scuff marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a cream polish in a matching or neutral color. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be necessary.
