Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
Discomfort during initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you have the correct size and consider using thicker socks if needed.
Scuff marks on leather
For minor scuffs, use a clean cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or professional cleaning might be necessary.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a new pair. Ensure you purchase laces of a similar length and material for optimal fit and durability.
