Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if thicker socks would alleviate pressure points.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them more to break them in. If the noise persists, check if the insole is loose or try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Dirt on gum sole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the gum sole. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Scuff marks on nubuck
Attempt to brush away light scuffs with a suede brush. For deeper marks, consider a specialized nubuck cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
