Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Scuffs appearing on the leather upper
Use a leather conditioner or shoe cream that matches the black colour to buff out light scuffs and nourish the leather fibers.
Slippery soles on smooth floors
If the leather soles are too smooth, a professional cobbler can apply a thin rubber topy (sole protector) to increase grip without altering the shoe's profile.
