Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or polish. Regular conditioning can help maintain the leather's appearance.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them more or insert an anti-slip insole. Ensure the insole is dry.

Discomfort in ankle area

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The padded collar may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially.
