Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not tied too tightly. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if this specific size and model are suitable for your foot shape.

Leather creases or scuffs easily

Minor creases are natural with wear. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or cleaner. Store properly to minimize friction.

Outsole traction seems reduced

Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove embedded debris. Ensure the surface you are walking on is dry, as water can reduce traction on any shoe.
