How should I clean and maintain the premium leather?

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Polish with a matching color shoe polish to maintain shine and cover minor imperfections.

Can the monk strap be adjusted for a better fit?

Troubleshooting

Leather scuffing or scratching

Gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching color shoe polish or leather repair kit following product instructions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Use a leather conditioner to soften the material and consider using shoe stretchers if needed.

Monk strap closure feels too tight or loose

Adjust the buckle position on the strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the strap is fastened correctly through the buckle.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Follow up with a light polish to bring back the shine.
