Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
Allow for a short break-in period. Wear them for casual activities to soften the leather and mold them to your feet. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted for a comfortable, not overly tight, fit.
Reduced grip or board feel
Check the outsole for dirt or wear. Clean the `abrasion-resistant rubber outsole` with a brush and water to restore grip. If the tread is significantly worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner as part of your regular care routine. This will moisturize the leather and help prevent further damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can exacerbate cracking.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather Osiris D3 2001 Skate Shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and debris with a soft, damp cloth after use. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the leather.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack or warp.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
