Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or stiffness
Wear the shoes regularly to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
Scuff marks on the shell toe
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, consider a specialized shoe cleaner or magic eraser cautiously.
