Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Try adjusting the lacing system. If the fit remains problematic, consider consulting the size chart or trying a different size, as individual fit can vary.
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Slight discoloration on accents
Ensure cleaning is done with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or prolonged sunlight, which can affect color.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces, as with any footwear.
