Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is a natural sign of wear for leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Slight color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, dark overlays might transfer color onto lighter materials, especially when wet. Avoid wearing in heavy rain and allow the shoes to dry completely if they get wet.

Discomfort or tightness

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes feel slightly tight, wearing them with thinner socks or allowing them to break in gradually over a few wears can help. Using a shoe stretcher is also an option for persistent tightness.
