Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thick socks for a short period to help them stretch naturally. Avoid wearing them for extended periods initially if they are uncomfortable.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard Vans shoelaces or any similar durable shoelaces. Consider waxing your laces for increased durability.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Try powdering the inside of the shoe with talcum powder or ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Scuff marks on the leather
Gently clean scuff marks with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, a leather shoe cream or polish in a matching colour might help restore the finish.
