Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Nubuck material looks dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Protect from moisture.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The gum rubber outsole provides grip but can be slick on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean. For enhanced grip on specific terrains, consider aftermarket sole grips.
