Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more often, or a light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might help absorb moisture causing the squeak.
Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie
Ensure the laces are not overly stiff. If they are new, they may loosen with use. You can also try a different lacing technique.
Color transfer from blue accents
In rare cases, dye transfer might occur, especially when the shoe is wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and consider a suede protector spray on the blue suede areas. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing when damp.
Discomfort after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size and that the laces are adjusted properly. New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially.
