Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are loosened before putting them on and then adjusted with the hook-and-loop strap for a personalized fit.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a bit longer, or check if any part of the sole is rubbing against itself or the upper. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the sound originates there.
Leather shows scuffs or minor damage
Use a leather conditioner or a shoe polish that matches the color to cover minor scuffs. For deeper damage, professional repair might be necessary.
Color transfer from blue accents
Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing them with light-colored socks or trousers. If color transfer occurs, clean the affected garment according to its care instructions. For the shoes, consider a waterproofing spray suitable for leather.
