Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or discomfort

Ensure laces are evenly tightened. Try different lacing techniques or consider the possibility of needing a different size or width.

Color transfer to socks or floor

New, brightly colored shoes can sometimes experience minor color bleed. This usually reduces with wear. Use protective shoe trees and avoid wearing with light-colored socks until further wear.

Material creasing or damage

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize damage, avoid over-tightening laces and store properly. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
