Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially, or consider using a shoe stretcher if the material allows. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Leather creasing
Natural creasing is expected with leather footwear. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use and reduce excessive creasing.
Slight discoloration on purple accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with a mild cleaner suitable for synthetic materials.
