Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner as per the product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.

Scuffs or minor marks on the leather

Gently buff the affected area with a soft cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Water spots on the leather

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, condition the leather to restore its finish.

Laces are dirty

Remove laces and wash them gently by hand with mild soap and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing.
