Troubleshooting
Creasing of leather
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, consider using shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the tongue and inner lining. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet between them.
Color transfer
In damp conditions, dark leather may transfer color to light socks. Ensure shoes are dry and consider using a leather protectant spray.
Laces wear out
Replace worn laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
