Troubleshooting
Laces feel insecure
Ensure laces are tied tightly using a double knot. Check if laces are worn and consider replacing them if they are frayed.
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is common with leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the 'Beige Grey' finish. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes be slippery. Lightly scuffing the sole on a rough surface or wearing them outdoors can help improve traction over time.
