Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Swoosh or branding appears faded

Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive rubbing. If fading is noticeable, ensure proper storage away from direct light.

Discomfort during initial wear

The leather may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a soft cloth.
