Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even tension. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed for the leather.
Gum sole is dirty
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is normal with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage when not in use.
Discoloration on white leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, consider a specialized leather cleaner for white leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
