Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a leather conditioner according to the product's instructions to restore suppleness. Ensure the shoes are not stored in overly dry conditions.
Velcro closure losing grip
Clean the Velcro strips by brushing away any debris or lint that may be stuck in the hooks and loops. A small brush or even a toothpick can help.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the synthetic soles are clean. If the issue persists, consider a cobbler for an alternative sole treatment or material, though this is uncommon for new footwear.
Discoloration from water or dirt
Address stains immediately. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. For persistent stains, consult a professional shoe repair service. Using a protector spray can help prevent future staining.
