Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Creasing is natural with leather; wear them gently to minimize it. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a leather conditioner or polish. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Translucent outsole yellowing
Yellowing can occur over time due to oxidation. Keeping the shoes clean and stored away from UV light can slow this process. Specialized 'retrobright' treatments are sometimes used by collectors, but proceed with caution.
Fit feels too snug or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is slightly off, consider using thicker or thinner socks. For significant fit issues, consider if a different size would be more appropriate.
