Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components. Try wearing thicker socks or ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the issue persists, it may be a manufacturing anomaly.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Consider using insoles for additional arch support. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Dirt or stains on the leather
Gently wipe the stained area with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Follow up with a leather conditioner.
