Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are tied with sufficient room. If persistent, consider if the size is appropriate or if the foot shape is a match.
Discoloration on leather
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For specific stains, consult a leather care guide for appropriate cleaning agents. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight.
