Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust them to a comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if a different size or width might be more suitable, or try wearing thinner socks.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise continues, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help, or the issue may resolve with continued wear.
Dirt or scuffs on the upper
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized leather cleaner. For persistent marks, consult the care instructions for specific material treatments.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce traction. Clean the outsole with soap and water. If the tread is significantly worn down, replacement may be necessary.
