Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff and uncomfortable.

Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. Use leather softening products if necessary.

Leather is cracking.

Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking. Avoid storing in extreme heat or direct sunlight.

Sole is wearing down quickly.

Ensure proper gait and avoid excessive dragging of feet. Consider getting the sole professionally repaired if necessary.

Stitching is coming undone.

Take the boots to a professional cobbler for repair. Do not attempt to fix the stitching yourself unless you have experience.
