Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Consider using thinner socks. If the issue persists across multiple wears, they may not be the correct size.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Follow specific care instructions for suede and leather to clean and protect.

Soles feel stiff

New shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the sole to flex naturally.

Water damage or staining

Treat stains immediately with appropriate cleaners for suede/leather. Use protective sprays before wearing in wet conditions.
