Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Wipe clean regularly with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid exposing to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces as needed. Standard shoe laces are compatible.
