Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Consider using a shoe stretcher if tightness persists.
Leather shows minor scuffs.
Use a leather conditioner or polish that matches the black color to buff out minor scuffs. Ensure the leather is clean before applying any product.
Laces become dirty.
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.
