Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. If still tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or breaking them in with short periods of wear.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.
Squeaking soles
Moisture between the sole layers or between the insole and midsole can cause squeaking. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on University Blue overlays
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
- Suede/Nubuck Areas: If applicable to specific parts, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore texture. Avoid water.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.
- Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a damp cloth and a small amount of soap if necessary. An old toothbrush can be useful for getting into crevices.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or original box to protect them from dust and damage.
