Troubleshooting
Scuff marks or dirt on the leather upper
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying your laces securely, possibly using a double knot. If issues persist, consider replacing the laces with a material that offers better grip.
Slight discomfort or tightness
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear. Wear thin socks initially or try to wear them for short periods to break them in naturally.
Rubber sole losing grip due to dirt build-up
Clean the sole thoroughly using a damp cloth and mild soap. A stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) can help remove dirt from the sole's grooves, restoring traction.
