Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure the laces are adjusted properly. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. If the size is definitively incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural part of wear for leather shoes. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces. Consider using crease protectors.

Discoloration or scuff marks

For scuff marks on leather, use a leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently. For denim, spot clean carefully. Protectants can help prevent future marks.
