Troubleshooting
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase or consulting a shoe fitter for potential stretching options.
Scuffs or scratches on the leather toe/heel
For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather balm. For deeper scratches, a leather repair kit or professional restoration may be necessary.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the traction is significantly worn down, consider replacing the shoes or seeking professional advice on outsole reconditioning.
Discoloration of the blue leather elements
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth and use a leather protector spray designed for colored leather to help maintain the vibrancy.
