Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase or a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The AirWair™ sole can sometimes be slick on very smooth or wet surfaces when new. With continued use, the sole will develop more grip. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris.
Scuff marks or scratches on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a black shoe polish or a leather repair balm that matches the shoe color. Apply sparingly and buff to a shine.
