Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear with thin socks initially. If the issue persists, consider using a shoe stretcher for a few days or allow for a natural break-in period with regular wear.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize severe creasing, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Color transfer from blue leather

In humid conditions or when wet, some color transfer from the blue leather to lighter socks is possible. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing and consider using a leather protector spray.

Squeaking sound from soles

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers. Try to ensure the shoes are dry. A light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help if the squeak originates from there.
