Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the boots for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Use thicker socks during the break-in period. Consider a leather stretching spray if persistent tightness occurs in specific areas.
Platform sole feels awkward when walking
Practice walking with the platform sole. Focus on a smoother heel-to-toe motion. Avoid sudden turns or walking on very uneven surfaces until accustomed.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a suitable leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, use a leather polish or repair balm matching the boot's color.
