How durable is the synthetic outsole?
The synthetic outsole is designed for everyday wear, offering good resistance to abrasion and reliable traction on most common surfaces. Its longevity will depend on the frequency and intensity of use.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the synthetic outsole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, there might be a slight initial lack of grip that improves with use. If the issue persists on slick surfaces, be cautious.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for athletic footwear to moisturize the leather. Avoid over-conditioning.
