Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have purchased the correct size. Leather can stretch slightly over time, but significant tightness may indicate an incorrect fit. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for some break-in.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize deep creases, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Gentle conditioning can help maintain the leather's appearance.
Gum sole discoloration or dirt
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized rubber cleaner. For scuffs, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Strap losing its adhesion
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides with a small brush. If adhesion is permanently compromised, it may indicate wear and tear.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially after cleaning.
- Soles: Clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber. Stubborn scuffs on the gum sole can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
