Troubleshooting

Leather appears creased or scuffed.

For minor creases, try stuffing the shoes with paper to help maintain shape. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for white leather.

Laces are difficult to adjust for a snug fit.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing tension. If the width is an issue, consider trying thicker or thinner socks. If the length is problematic, ensure you have selected the correct UK size.

Discoloration on the white leather.

Use a specialized white leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent yellowing, professional cleaning might be an option.
