Troubleshooting

Sizing feels off

Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists, consider if a half-size up or down might be more suitable, referring to sizing charts.

Leather creasing excessively

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth, focusing on the white leather parts.
