Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing worn-out laces with new ones that offer better grip.
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in. Ensure you have the correct size.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or shoe cream specifically designed for leather footwear. Buff gently with a soft cloth.
