Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more to break them in, or apply a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or to the tongue area.
Discoloration on translucent parts
Translucent materials can yellow over time, especially with UV exposure. Store away from direct sunlight and clean gently with a damp cloth. Specialized translucent cleaner may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Tight fit
Ensure the correct size was purchased. If slightly tight, wearing them with thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher for a short period might help. If significantly tight, consider exchanging for a larger size if possible.
