Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Soles appear dirty or scuffed

Clean the soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or specialized sole cleaner can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Tongue feels uncomfortable or shifts

Adjust the tongue's position before lacing. Some users find lacing techniques that secure the tongue more effectively can help.

Water spots on leather

If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to help restore moisture and minimize the appearance of water spots.
