Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider a shoe stretcher or professional shoe fitting advice.
Scuffs or scratches on leather
Use a black shoe polish or cream specifically for leather to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional cobbler.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try applying talcum powder under the insole or to the tongue area. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
