Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing

Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for new leather. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and soften.

Clean the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a similar type and length. You can find replacements at shoe stores or online retailers.
