Troubleshooting
Leather shows creases or scuffs
Minor creases are natural for leather. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner specific to pink leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Pumps feel tight after initial wear
Leather can stretch slightly. Wear them around the house for short periods with thicker socks to help them mold to your feet. Ensure correct sizing was selected initially.
Color transfer from pink leather
This is rare but can occur with very porous materials. Consider using a leather protectant spray designed for colored leather, following product instructions carefully.
