Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tightly. Consider wearing thinner socks or checking if the size is appropriate for your foot width.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

This is normal for new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly.

Leather shows minor scuffs

Use a clean, soft cloth and a small amount of neutral or color-matched leather conditioner to gently buff out minor scuffs. Test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. While designed for slip resistance, extreme conditions or highly polished surfaces may still present challenges. Break-in period may improve grip.
