Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If persistent, check for trapped debris.

Discoloration on light bone areas

Use a dedicated leather cleaner for light colors. Address spills or dirt immediately to prevent staining.
