Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
This is normal for new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are tied securely. If the problem persists, consider double-knotting or replacing the laces with a different material that offers better grip.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more persistent marks, consult a leather care guide or a professional shoe repair service.
