FAQs

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, depending on how often you wear the shoes and the environmental conditions.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Wear dress socks that complement the color of your shoes and outfit. Avoid athletic socks.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain. If they get wet, follow the care instructions to prevent water damage.

How do I clean the monk straps and buckles?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe them clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

What should I do if the leather cracks?

Cracking leather indicates a lack of conditioning. Use a leather conditioner immediately and consider professional repair if the damage is severe.

How can I prevent scuff marks?

Be careful when walking, and consider using a shoe polish or leather protector to create a barrier against scuffs. Regular cleaning also helps.

Where can I find replacement parts, such as buckles?

Contact the manufacturer or a local shoe repair shop for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Scratches on the leather surface.

Use a leather polish that matches the shoe's color. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently rub the scratch until it blends in.

Stiff leather and discomfort.

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Use a leather softener to help soften the material and improve comfort.

Water stains on the leather.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally. Once dry, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to restore the leather.
