Troubleshooting
Ankle strap is uncomfortable or digs in.
Adjust the buckle to a looser setting. If the leather is stiff, wear for short periods to break it in or consider a professional stretching service.
Slight slippage on smooth surfaces.
The leather sole may need to be worn in. Consider applying a thin layer of sole protector or visiting a cobbler to add a protective rubber sole layer for enhanced grip.
Leather scuffing or marks.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and allow to air dry. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for calfskin. For deep scuffs, consult a professional leather repair specialist.
Heel feels unstable.
Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened. Practice walking in them on a safe surface. If instability persists, consider the heel height may not be suitable for your comfort level.
