Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is normal with leather wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. For significant creasing, specialized shoe irons or stuffing with socks can help reshape.

Laces become dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Color transfer from sock to shoe

Ensure socks are colorfast. For the shoe, apply a protective spray. If color transfer occurs, clean gently with a leather cleaner.
