Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or cracking

Ensure proper fit to avoid excessive flexing. Use leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or prolonged dryness.

Soles becoming slippery

Clean the soles with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt. If wear is significant, consider professional sole inspection or replacement.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with new ones of similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and functionality.
