Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a shoe repair professional. Ensure the correct size was purchased.
Sole is separating slightly
For minor separation, a flexible shoe glue designed for athletic footwear can be used. For significant separation, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
Leather creasing heavily
Creasing is natural with leather shoes. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes regularly according to care instructions to maintain color vibrancy.
