Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or cracking
Ensure the shoes are stored properly and avoid over-tightening laces. Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple.
Soles becoming dirty
Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse and dry.
Discomfort on first wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.
