Troubleshooting

Creasing on the toe box

While some creasing is natural with leather, you can minimize it by ensuring a proper fit and using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing.

Leather scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or a magic eraser gently. For deeper scratches, consider professional leather repair services.

Difficulty lacing the shoes

Loosen the laces significantly before putting the shoe on. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to allow for easy foot entry.
