Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Scuffs or minor marks on leather
Use a matching color leather cream or polish to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, professional leather repair might be necessary.
