Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a dryer sheet inside the shoe to absorb moisture and reduce friction.

Leather creasing or stiffness

Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. For initial stiffness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the material. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when not worn.

Discoloration on the green leather

Ensure you are using appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners. Avoid exposing the shoes to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
