Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Leather may stretch slightly over time with wear. Consider wearing with thinner socks or attempting to break them in gradually.
Leather shows water spots
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore the material's appearance and uniformity. Avoid wearing in heavy rain.
Soles feel slippery
The traction may decrease on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean. For increased grip, consider consulting a cobbler about adding grip enhancers.
Discoloration on white leather
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner for white footwear might be effective. Protect from substances that can cause staining.
