Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather
While some creasing is natural with leather, try to avoid excessive bending. Shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
Durabuck losing texture
Use a dedicated nubuck or suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Avoid getting the material wet.
Yellowing of the midsole/outsole
Exposure to sunlight and certain cleaning agents can cause yellowing. Clean with appropriate midsole cleaners and store away from direct light.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the correct size has been purchased. Break-in periods can vary; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
