Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if they are slightly snug.
Scuffs on the leather upper
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit or professional cleaning might be necessary.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area to reduce friction.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the outsole is clean from mud, dirt, or debris. For worn-out traction, consider consulting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement, though this is uncommon for lifestyle shoes.
