Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try flexing the shoe or applying a small amount of talcum powder between the tongue and the upper.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean. For slick surfaces, break-in time may be needed, or consider if the surface is unusually polished.

Leather shows creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with movement. This is not a defect and contributes to the shoe's character. Proper care can help maintain the leather's condition.
