Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Natural creasing can occur with leather. Ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.

Gently clean scuff marks with a soft cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.
Sole wear
Regular wear will cause some sole wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement.
