Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and flexibility. Ensure you are using a product suitable for the type of leather.
Laces are showing dirt or wear
Clean the laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with a new pair of tonal laces if they are beyond repair.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For additional grip on very smooth surfaces, consider a specialized sole grip enhancer, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
