Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions.

Soles losing traction

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any trapped dirt or debris from the grooved patterns. Avoid using on excessively slippery surfaces.

Discomfort during long wear

While designed for comfort, these are lifestyle shoes. If discomfort persists, consider adding an aftermarket insole for personalized cushioning or support.
