Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather and can be minimized by ensuring a proper fit and using shoe trees for storage.

Stiffness upon first wear

The leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.
