Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure you have the correct size; consider if a wider fit might be needed.
Scuff marks or dirt on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. For stubborn scuffs, a leather eraser or a cream polish in a matching color can be effective.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the outsole or due to moisture. Try inserting a talc-free powder inside the shoe or ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
