Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather overlays
This is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-stuffing shoes when storing and allow shoes to rest between wears. Use a leather conditioner periodically.
Reduced grip on outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. A thorough wipe-down with a damp cloth should restore grip. If excessive wear is visible, consider replacement.
Discomfort during extended wear
Ensure correct sizing. If new, break them in gradually. Consider using an additional insole for enhanced cushioning if needed.
