Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching coloured polish. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Gum sole discoloration

Clean the sole gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing.

Discomfort during initial wear

New leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure correct sizing.
