Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, checking for any debris, and reinserting it. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
Laces becoming difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are not worn out. If they are, consider replacing them. Tighten the laces evenly across the eyelets when tying, and consider using a double knot for added security.
Leather appearing dull or scuffed
Clean the leather with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a leather conditioner or a matching colored shoe polish can help restore the appearance. Apply polish sparingly and buff gently.
