Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations. Consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler if discomfort persists.
Leather shows water spots or stains
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for cream-colored leather, and test on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure proper waterproofing before future wears.
Sole appears worn or loose
Take the shoes to a professional cobbler for repair. Do not attempt to re-glue the sole yourself, as this can cause further damage.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather surface
For minor scuffs, try a leather-specific eraser or a cream polish that matches the shoe color. Deeper scratches may require professional repair.

- Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying. Always test conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the pumps in a dustbag or their original shoe box when not in use. This protects them from dust, scratches, and prolonged exposure to light.
- Avoid Water Exposure: Minimize exposure to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions, even after waterproofing.
- Sole Care: The synthetic outsole is durable, but avoid excessive wear on rough surfaces.
