Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Leather trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
Scuffs on the rubber toe cap
Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild rubber cleaner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Color transfer from leather lining
In rare cases, dark dyes may transfer to light socks, especially when new or wet. Wear with darker socks initially or use a leather protector spray on the interior.
