Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe bed. Try removing the insole, ensuring it's dry, and re-inserting it. A light dusting of powder under the insole can also help.
Uneven wear on outsole
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the wear is uneven due to your gait, consider using insoles that offer better arch support. Rotate your footwear to distribute wear.
Laces fraying quickly
The laces are made of durable material, but excessive pulling or abrasion can cause fraying. Tighten laces moderately and consider replacing them with similar quality laces if they become too worn.

Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the shoes.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed separately.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.
- Water Exposure: While the Safety Orange outsole offers some grip, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive water as it can affect the materials and adhesives.
