Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more hours to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Laces wear out quickly

Replace laces with a durable alternative. For everyday wear, consider cotton or polyester blend laces.

Discoloration of the white material

Clean regularly with appropriate shoe cleaner for leather and synthetic materials. Store away from direct sunlight.
