Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees for storage. Avoid excessive flexing.

Discoloration from cleaning products

Always test cleaning or conditioning products on an inconspicuous area first. Use only products specifically designed for white leather.

Sizing feels slightly off

Leather will stretch slightly with wear. If initially snug, wear them for short periods. If still uncomfortable, consult sizing charts or consider the next size up if available.

Scuffs or marks on the leather

For minor scuffs, try a white or clear leather cream. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
