Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking and consider using shoe trees for storage.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the laces.
Discoloration or scuff marks
Address scuffs immediately with a specialized sneaker eraser or a mild cleaning solution. For discoloration, consult professional shoe cleaning guides specific to black leather.
