Troubleshooting
Laces becoming untied frequently.
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip if they are smooth or slippery.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. For new shoes, breaking them in gradually can help. Consider using insoles if additional cushioning is desired.
Leather surface showing scuffs or marks.
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner can help restore the appearance. Protectant sprays can also help prevent future marks.
