Troubleshooting
My new sneakers feel a bit stiff.
Leather shoes often need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing the time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot's shape.
The leather looks dull or scuffed.
Clean the area gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish in a matching color can help restore the finish. Always test products on an inconspicuous spot first.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped under the insole or friction between parts of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder under it. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.
The shoes feel too warm or sweaty.
While leather is durable, it can be less breathable than some synthetic materials. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out between wears, and use shoe fresheners if needed.
