Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try to identify if the squeak is coming from the insole or laces. Loosening or tightening the laces might help. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also sometimes resolve squeaks.
Leather creasing
Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather shoes. To minimize the appearance, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store them upright or with shoe trees when not in use.
Discoloration of pink accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can fade colors over time. Clean gently with a damp cloth as needed.
