Troubleshooting
Uneven Fit
Ensure laces are tied consistently and securely. If the issue persists, check if the size is appropriate or if there are any manufacturing defects.
Leather Discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners. If discoloration is due to staining, treat immediately with a suitable stain remover for leather.
Squeaking Noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try loosening and re-tightening the laces. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the noise originates from there.
Reduced Grip
Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
