Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing. Deeper creases may be harder to remove.

Discoloration

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean regularly as per care instructions. For stubborn stains, consult specialized leather cleaning products.

Traction issues

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the sole appears worn, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
