How should I care for the leather exterior?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
This is common with leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied.
Ensure you are using a secure lacing technique. Consider replacing the laces with a different material or length if they are worn out.
Discoloration or marks on the leather.
Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for the type of leather. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede or leather elements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain their shape and color.
