Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially.
Allow time for the leather to break in. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time. Consider using leather stretching products or wearing thick socks to speed up the process.

Sole is wearing down unevenly.
Ensure proper foot alignment. If the problem persists, consult a cobbler for sole repair or replacement.
Stitching coming undone.
If the stitching comes undone, it's best to take them to a cobbler for repair. Regular inspection can help to prevent it from happening.
