Troubleshooting
Stiff leather or suede
Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it.
Discoloration on suede
Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For deeper stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid exposing suede to excessive moisture.
Slightly tight fit
Try wearing thicker socks around the house to help stretch the shoes. A professional shoe stretcher can also be used.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The grooved pattern provides traction, but grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
