Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Breaking them in gradually by wearing them for short periods can also help.
Dirt or scuff marks on the leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner might be effective. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer from black to white areas
This can occur with new shoes or in wet conditions. Ensure shoes are dry before wear. Consider using a protective spray designed for leather and mixed materials. Clean any transferred marks carefully as per care instructions.

- Leather Care: Periodically use a leather conditioner suitable for white and black leather to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
