Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe or between the tongue and laces.

Difficulty lacing up

Ensure laces are not tangled. Loosen the laces completely before re-lacing from the bottom up, adjusting tension as needed.

Material scuffs or marks

For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or eraser might help. For nubuck, use a suede brush or eraser specifically designed for the material.
