Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight on the sides.
The leather may need time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially. If the tightness persists, consider if a wider fit is needed or if professional stretching is an option.
Leather upper shows scuffs or scratches.
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a matching colored shoe polish. For deeper scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris, mud, or oil. A thorough cleaning with soap and water may restore grip.
Laces are difficult to tie securely.
Check the lacing technique. Ensure laces are of appropriate length and material; consider replacing if worn.
