Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather and suede shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Gum sole is showing scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs on gum soles can often be removed using a magic eraser or a melamine sponge. For stubborn marks, a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles may be effective.
Suede material looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Ensure the suede is completely dry before brushing.
Color transfer from maroon to lighter socks
This can sometimes occur with new, darker colored footwear. Ensure the inside of the shoe is dry. If persistent, you can try a fabric protector spray on the interior lining, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede to protect against the elements.
