Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a more relaxed fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe requires a break-in period.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on certain surfaces, this may be a characteristic of the material on those specific terrains. Break-in may improve grip.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a specialized leather cleaner following product instructions. Conditioning the leather regularly can help maintain its appearance.
Discoloration after cleaning
Ensure you are using appropriate cleaning agents for leather and colored materials. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive water.
