Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Natural leather will crease with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid bending the shoe excessively.

Discoloration from dirt

Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces getting dirty

Remove laces and handwash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
