Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure the laces are loosened before putting the shoe on. If the issue persists, the size may be incorrect, or the break-in period might be needed for the leather.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the sole is slip-resistant, extreme conditions may still pose a risk. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. For increased grip, consider a specialized sole treatment if needed.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid bending the shoe sharply when not on your foot. Store with shoe trees if possible.

Discoloration on leather

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
