Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try sprinkling baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe under the insole, or apply a small amount of saddle soap to the tongue area where it rubs against the shoe collar.
Scuff marks on leather overlays
For minor scuffs, try using a clean eraser or a specialized leather conditioner/cream. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair crayon in a matching shade might be necessary.
Discoloration of the Safety Orange outsole
Ensure the outsole is cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the color or material.
Canvas base appears dirty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
